Lightweight steam generator
OptimalTEMP technology
With OptimalTEMP technology you'll no
longer have to waste time changing
temperature settings, waiting for the
temperature to adjust or pre-sorting clothes.
Iron fabrics from jeans to silk, with guaranteed
no burns thanks to the perfect combination of
temperature and continuous powerful steam.
Safe carry lock
Safe rest
Innovative OptimalTEMP technology
guarantees no burn on all ironable fabrics. As
well as the reassurance this provides whilst
ironing, it also means you can leave the hot
iron soleplate directly on your cotton ironing
board without causing any damage. This helps
to reduce any discomfort to your wrists, as
you won't need to lift the iron to and from its
base as often.
Smart Calc clean
Thanks to revolutionary ProVelocity
technology, we've been able to make a
powerful steam generator iron that is much
lighter than traditional models. This means it's
more stable positioned on your ironing board
and carrying it around is made much easier.
Your steam generator iron includes a safe
carry lock which securely fastens your iron to
its base without the risk of slipping or someone
touching the hot soleplate. It ensures safe and
easy transportation around the house, to and
from storage.
Regular descaling protects your iron and
maintains steam performance. The Smart CalcClean system is an integrated descaling and
cleaning function to extend the lifespan of your
steam generator iron. The iron will remind you
with both light and sound that cleaning and
descaling is needed. Simply place your iron
onto the Smart Calc-Clean container and start
the process. It takes approx. 2 minutes for the
dirty water and scale to be collected, your
steam generator will beep once it's done and
ready to use again.
