Benefits & Features
  • •  A powerful 2000W output ensures rapid heating and efficient steam generation, enabling quicker ironing sessions and effective wrinkle removal from various fabric types.
  • •  The ceramic soleplate provides exceptionally smooth gliding over all fabrics, preventing snags and sticking, and offers even heat distribution for consistent ironing results across the garment.
  • •  A generous 300ml water tank capacity allows for extended periods of steam ironing without frequent refills, reducing interruptions and improving ironing efficiency for larger loads.
  • •  The continuous steam output of 20-25g/min effectively penetrates fabric fibres to relax wrinkles, making it suitable for daily ironing and achieving a crisp finish.
  • •  A powerful steam shot feature delivers an intense burst of steam at 90g/min, ideal for tackling stubborn creases and for vertical steaming of hanging garments, curtains, or upholstery.
  • •  The anti-drip system prevents water leakage from the soleplate at lower temperatures, safeguarding delicate fabrics from water stains and ensuring a clean ironing process.
  • •  The anti-calc system, also known as self-cleaning, helps to prevent the build-up of limescale within the iron, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining optimal steam performance over time, especially in hard water areas.
  • •  The vertical steam function enables convenient steaming of clothes directly on the hanger, as well as curtains and drapes, offering versatility beyond traditional horizontal ironing.
  • •  Variable temperature control allows precise adjustment of heat settings to suit different fabric compositions, from delicate silks to robust linens, preventing damage and ensuring effective ironing.
  • •  The spray function provides a fine mist of water, assisting in dampening stubborn creases for easier removal and achieving a smoother finish on dry or heavily wrinkled areas.
  • •  A 1.9-meter power cord offers ample reach and flexibility during ironing, reducing the need for an extension lead and providing greater freedom of movement around the ironing board.
  • •  The ergonomic design features a comfortable grip handle, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged ironing sessions and improving overall usability.
Usage Instructions
  • •  Prior to initial use, ensure all packaging materials and protective covers are removed from the iron.
  • •  Fill the water tank using a measuring cup to prevent overfilling; use distilled or demineralised water to prevent scale build-up, especially in hard water areas.
  • •  Select the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric type by rotating the temperature dial; refer to the fabric care label for guidance, starting with lower temperatures for delicate materials and increasing for tougher fabrics.
  • •  Plug the iron into a suitable earthed mains power socket; the indicator light will illuminate, signifying the iron is heating to the selected temperature.
  • •  Wait for the indicator light to extinguish, indicating the iron has reached the optimal temperature and is ready for use.
  • •  For steam ironing, press the steam button as needed, ensuring the temperature setting is within the steam range (usually indicated on the temperature dial); a burst of steam will be emitted.
  • •  For a powerful burst of steam, press the 'shot of steam' button, useful for removing stubborn creases.
  • •  For vertical steaming, hold the iron upright, approximately 15-30 cm from the garment, and press the 'shot of steam' button, suitable for curtains or hanging clothes.
  • •  To activate the spray function, press the spray button; a fine mist of water will be sprayed onto the fabric, assisting with crease removal.
  • •  After use, unplug the iron from the mains power socket.
  • •  Allow the iron to cool down completely on its heel rest before emptying any remaining water from the tank.
  • •  Store the iron in an upright position in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
  • •  Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp cloth to remove any starch or fabric residue.
  • •  Perform the self-clean function periodically to flush out mineral deposits and maintain optimal steam performance; follow the specific instructions in the product manual for this procedure.
