At approximately 1.5 kg and with a 1.9 m cord, it is intended to be easy to handle and maneuver during everyday ironing tasks. Packaging materials are recyclable.

Advantages

The ceramic soleplate provides low friction and consistent heat across the surface to help protect fabrics while reducing ironing time. High power (2200 W) shortens heat-up time and sustains steam output for continuous performance. A compact 0.3 L water tank balances sufficient steaming capacity with a lightweight design. The vertical steam function allows steaming of clothes on hangers and other textiles without contacting the soleplate. The 1.9 m cord increases reach and flexibility around the ironing board.

• Daily household ironing of shirts, trousers and blouses
• Refreshing curtains, suits and hanging garments using vertical steam
• Small to medium ironing sessions where a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver iron is preferred

How to use

Fill the 0.3 L water tank according to the water fill indicator and select the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric you intend to iron. Allow the iron to heat until the ready indicator shows it has reached operating temperature. For standard ironing, use the soleplate across the fabric with steady pressure and continuous steam as needed. To use the vertical steam function, hold the iron upright at a short distance from the hanging garment and apply short bursts of steam to remove wrinkles without touching the fabric with the soleplate. Switch off and unplug the iron after use, and empty the water tank if storing for extended periods.

Usage recommendations

Use distilled or demineralized water if your tap water is hard to reduce scale build-up and maintain steam performance. Regularly clean the soleplate with a soft cloth when cool and follow the manufacturer's care instructions to prolong the iron's service life. When steaming delicate fabrics, test on an inconspicuous area first and maintain a small distance when using vertical steam.
