Advantages

This steam iron offers a powerful 2400 W output, allowing for rapid heating and efficient ironing sessions. The integrated calc clean system simplifies maintenance, ensuring that the steam performance remains consistent over time by preventing mineral buildup. The combination of a generous water tank and a vertical steam function provides versatility for both flat ironing and refreshing hanging garments or curtains.

Suitable for

• Smoothing out wrinkles on hanging garments using vertical steam
• Refreshing curtains and upholstery
• Regular household laundry maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This iron may not be the ideal choice for users who require a professional-grade steam generator for high-volume, industrial-scale ironing tasks. Additionally, those looking for a cordless ironing experience will need to consider alternative models, as this unit requires a direct power connection.

• Water tank capacity: 0.3 L
• Cord length: 2 m
• Vertical steam function: Included
• Color: Red and White

How to use

To begin, fill the water tank up to the maximum level indicator. Plug the iron into a grounded power outlet and select the appropriate temperature setting based on the fabric care label of your garment. Once the indicator light turns off, the iron has reached the desired temperature. You may use the steam trigger for continuous steam or the vertical steam function for hanging items. After use, empty the remaining water from the tank and allow the iron to cool down completely on its stable heel rest before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 2-meter cord length is sufficient for your ironing station setup.
• Verify that the 0.3-liter water tank capacity meets your typical laundry load requirements.
• Check if your local water hardness requires frequent use of the calc clean function.

Usage recommendations: For optimal results and to extend the lifespan of your appliance, use the calc clean function regularly to remove scale deposits. Always store the iron in an upright position on its heel rest to prevent damage to the soleplate.
