OptimalTEMP Technology
The Optimal TEMP Technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without
adjusting the iron temperature setting.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 4) without putting back to the iron
platform. This will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
-
Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and
rayon (Fig. 5).
-
Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or
elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolefins (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on
garments (Fig. 6).
Using your appliance
Ironing

boost function, press the steam trigger once.
Vertical ironing
Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove creases from a garment that someone
