Water advice

In case you live in an area with hard water (e.g. water hardness 
more than 8 dGH), it is recommended to use a mixture of 
50 % tap water and 50 %  demineralised water.

Automatic energy saving

90 % of the energy a steam iron uses is used to convert water 
into steam.  This steam iron with innovative mechanism 
in the handle makes sure that you still get high steam 
performance, but with optimal use of energy.
The automatic energy saving technology is such that
-  when you put the iron down on the garment and press the 

handle gently (which you normally do during ironing!), it 
steams at full power.

-  when you lift the iron, the steaming reduces to a minimum.

Steam Glide soleplate

This specially treated soleplate is designed with 2 distinctly 
different types of steam vents:
-  Large vents for maximum crease removal
-  Fine vents for best glide

Double active anti-calc system

Anti-calc cassette inside water tank & calc cleaning feature 
provide double protection against scale build-up.
Calc clean is integrated with steam control.
