Water Advice

Suitable for tap water use. However if the tap water in
your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with a equal
portion of distilled water or to use distilled water only.

Soleplate

Ceralon, the name indicates the strong combination of a
non-stick coating (“lon”) blended with ceramic (“Cera”)
particles. The soleplate is coated with Ceralon material which
is smooth gliding, high scratch resistance and good durability
advantage over the non stick coatings.

Auto shut-off (ASO)

A relay in the electronic module interrupts the power to the
heating element when the iron has been motionless.

- for 30 secs in the horizontal position.

- for 8 minutes in the vertical position.
The red “Auto-off” pilot light starts blinking.
When the iron is moved again, it is automatically switched

‘ON’ again.

Calc clean

The integrated Calc clean function ensure a longer lifetime
using normal tap water by removing the scale out of the steam
chamber.

Shot of steam (S.O.S)

The shot of steam knob releases a powerful shot of steam
boost (up to 45 g/min), created by a separate shot of steam
area. This helps getting rid of stubborn wrinkles easily.

Vertical Steam

The same shot of steam button can be used in a vertical
position for curtains or hanging garments.

Drip stop

Water is only released to through the tank valve into the
steam chamber if the soleplate temperature is high enough
to evaporate all water. If the temperature is too low, the tank
valve is closed by means of a bi-metal disc.
