Using the appliance

OptimalTEMP technology
Warning: Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without
adjusting the iron temperature and without sorting your garments.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 6) without putting back to the
iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
-
Fabrics with these symbols (Fig. 7) are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool,
viscose and rayon.
-
Fabrics with this symbol (Fig. 8) are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such
as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolefins (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on
garments are not ironable either.
Ironing

Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing
