ECO mode (specic types only)

sufcient steam to iron all your garments.

Note: For the best results, we advise you to use the ‘OptimalTemp’ mode.

Ironing tips

Minimising wrinkles while drying

Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your

laundry properly after washing and by putting garments on hangers to

make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.

Best practice shirt ironing

Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves. Next,

iron the bigger parts like front and back to prevent wrinkling the bigger

parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts.

Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the

outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the

collar and press the edge for a more crisp nish.

Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and

faster ironing.

Safety Auto-off

- To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not

been moved for 3 minutes in horizontal position, or 8 minutes when

left standing on its heel. The Smart light starts ashing slowly.

- To reactivate the iron, press the steam trigger. The iron starts heating

up again.

Note: The steam iron is not switched off completely when it is in Safety Auto-off

mode. Unplug the iron to switch it off.
