Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

The compact 0.2 L water tank requires more frequent refills during extended ironing sessions, so it may be less convenient for very large laundry loads. It is not a professional steam station and may be less efficient for continuous heavy-duty commercial use.

Key specifications

How to use

Fill the removable water tank with clean tap water, place the iron on the StyleMat, set the temperature according to the fabric care label and allow the iron to heat up. Use continuous steam for general ironing and press the steam boost when encountering stubborn creases. For vertical steaming, hold the iron upright at a short distance from the garment and apply short bursts of steam. Empty the tank after use if the iron will not be used for an extended period.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the SteamGlide Plus soleplate on recommended temperature settings for each fabric type, and apply the steam boost only where needed to avoid over-wetting delicate materials. Regularly descale according to the manufacturer's guidance to maintain steam performance.
