Steam settings
You can set different steam settings with the steam slider:
- No steam: to stop steam output when the iron is not in use.
During ironing, always choose ECO or MAX setting .
- ECO: (specific types only) to save energy, reduce the steam output, and
still have sufficient steam to iron your garments.
- MAX: to set the maximum steam output, perfect combination with
OptimalTemp setting.
For the best results and shortest ironing time, we strongly recommend that
you iron all ironable fabrics at the setting for maximum steam output.
1 Make sure there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Push the steam slider to the desired steam setting.
Using the appliance
Ironing
With the OptimalTemp technology, you can iron every single garment
effectively and safely, even delicate fabrics like silk without having to worry
about temperature settings.
1 You can start ironing when the SmartLight stops flashing and lights
up blue steadily. (See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Heating
up’).
Note: When resting the iron on heel, it makes a sputtering sound as water gets
evaporated by the hot soleplate. This is normal.
Features
Spray function
You can use the spray function to moisten the garment to be ironed. This
helps to remove stubborn creases.
1 Make sure there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the garment to be
ironed.
Steam boost function
A steam boost from the soleplate helps removing stubborn creases. The
steam boost enhances the distribution of steam into every part of the
garment.
