Putting down the iron during ironing

- Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board.

ECO mode (specific types only)

During ironing, you can use the ECO mode to save energy but still have
sufficient steam to iron all your garments.
Note: For the best results, we advise you to use the 'OptimalTemp' mode.
1 Press the ECO button when the appliance is switched on. The Smart
light starts flashing green. When the iron has reached the ECO mode
and is ready for use, the Smart light stops flashing and lights up green
continuously.
2 To go back to the 'OptimalTemp' mode, press the ECO button again.

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 finish.
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 flashing 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.
