OptimalTemp Technology
The OptimalTemp technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, without adjusting the
iron temperature or steam setting.
- Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool,
viscose and rayon (Fig. 4).
- Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex
or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyoleins (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on
garments (Fig. 5).
Recommended water to use: distilled or demineralised water
Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with hard water,
fast scale build-up may occur. It is therefore recommended to use distilled or demineralised water to
prolong the lifetime of your appliance.
Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, magnetically treated water
(e.g. Aqua+), starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals,
as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.
Ironing
Please read the quick start guide on the packaging carefully to start using your appliance.
Note: Keep the steam trigger pressed continuously when you move the iron over the fabric while you iron.
IMPORTANT - Cleaning and maintenance
Smart Calc-Clean System
Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and
cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and avoids dirt and
stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed,
the steam generator gives regular reminders. Besides that, a second defence step to protect the
steam generator from scale is integrated: the steam function gets disabled if descaling is not done
after 1 hour steam ironing once the reminder came up. After descaling is done, the steam function
will be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.
