FAQs
Do I need to adjust the temperature for different fabrics?
No, the One Temp technology is designed to be safe for all ironable fabrics without needing manual dial adjustments.
Can I use tap water in this steam generator?
Yes, however, if you live in a very hard water area, it is recommended to use a mix of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to prolong the life of the unit.
How often should I clean the limescale filter?
It is recommended to check and rinse the filter periodically, or whenever the limescale alert indicates it is necessary.
Is it safe to leave the iron unattended?
While the unit has an automatic shut-off feature, it is always recommended to place the iron in its base and unplug it when finished.
Can I use this iron vertically?
Yes, the high steam output allows for effective vertical steaming for garments on hangers or curtains.
Troubleshooting
The iron is not producing steam
Check if the water tank is empty or if the limescale filter is blocked and needs rinsing.
The unit turns off during use
The automatic shut-off may have triggered after 10 minutes of inactivity. Simply press the power button to restart.
Water is leaking from the soleplate
Ensure the temperature has reached the operating level. Excessive steam bursts can sometimes cause condensation if the plate is not hot enough.
