Materials and controls are arranged for straightforward everyday use and maintenance.

How to use

Fill the 1.8 L water tank according to the markings and secure it in place before switching on the unit. Allow the generator to heat until the ready indicator signals that steam is available. Use the iron plate on a stable ironing board; select the appropriate fabric setting and apply continuous steam or timed boosts for stubborn creases. For vertical steaming, hold the iron upright at a short distance from hanging garments and move slowly from top to bottom to relax fibres. After use, switch off and unplug the appliance, allow it to cool and empty the tank if recommended by the manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use clean tap water or filtered water as advised in the user manual to limit mineral buildup. For best results, sort garments by fabric type and start with lower temperature settings, increasing steam or heat only as fabrics require. Regularly follow descaling and maintenance instructions to preserve steam flow and prolong the lifespan of the appliance.
