Steam Generation Technology

High Pressure Boiler

Here lies the ultimate power! The device features a real boiler (tank) in its base, which heats the water and creates ready high-pressure steam. The steam then travels with tremendous force to the iron. It is the ideal choice if you want professional results, as it easily penetrates even the thickest and most difficult fabrics, making ironing a breeze.

Power

2700 W

Power: 2700

Here we are talking about the peak of power! The 2600 Watt (and above) ensure that your system will be ready for action in no time. No matter how demanding the fabric is, or how many steam bursts you release, the soleplate temperature will never drop. It is the ideal choice if you are facing huge mountains of clothes and need to finish in a flash, with no compromise in performance.

Steam Pressure

8 bar

Steam Pressure: 8

Steam pressure is perhaps the most important number to look at. The higher the pressure in bar, the deeper the steam penetrates the fabric, softening it instantly. This means fewer passes with your hand and much less effort.

For professional results! It penetrates linens, thick jeans, and often allows you to iron the garment from only one side.

Steam Supply (Continuous)

170 g/min

Steam Supply (Continuous): 170

Continuous steam is your everyday "ally." It is the steady amount of steam (in grams per minute) that the iron releases as you move it. The higher the number, the easier it is to smooth out clothes without needing to apply pressure with your hand.

You get through it in half the time! Ideal if you have huge piles of clothes and want to finish quickly.

Boost

600 g/min

Boost: 600

Boost is the "superpower" you call on when you come across a very stubborn crease that just won’t smooth out, or when you want to iron a curtain vertically. It is an instant, huge amount of steam that literally lifts the fibers of the fabric.

It penetrates even multiple layers of thick denim. The steam literally passes through to the other side.

The ultimate durability! Incredibly scratch-resistant with excellent glide, you will find it in the top models on the market.

Iron Weight

0.85 kg

Iron Weight: 0.85

Ideal for very comfortable ironing, it does not strain your wrist and is perfect for frequent use of vertical steam.

Vertical Steam

Yes

Vertical Steam

With the ability of vertical steam, fabrics such as curtains or clothes can be ironed vertically, on hangers.

Anti Drip

No

Water Tank & Ergonomics

Water Tank Capacity

1800 ml

Water Tank Capacity: 1800

The ultimate convenience if you want to “knock out” the whole week’s pile at once, without any break for refilling.

Removable Water Tank

Yes

Removable Water Tank

No more bottles and jugs next to the ironing board! With the removable tank, you simply “unclip” it from the base, take it to the sink, fill it directly from the tap, and clip it back into place. Clean, quick, and safe.

Instant Refill

Yes

Instant Refill

In older systems, you had to wait for the pressure to drop and the boiler to cool down before adding water. With this function (continuous refill), you simply top up the water tank whenever it runs empty, and continue ironing without the slightest delay.

System Weight

4.9 kg

Transfer Lock

Yes

Transfer Lock

A special hook "locks" the iron’s tip onto the boiler. This way, you can pick up the entire unit (which weighs several kilos) by the iron’s handle and carry it, without worrying that it will slip and fall.

Technologies & Safety

Automatic Temperature (No Settings)

Yes

Automatic Temperature (No Settings)

The ultimate peace of mind when ironing. The iron automatically maintains an ideal, safe temperature that works for all fabrics (e.g. OptimalTEMP technology). You no longer need to sort clothes into piles by fabric, and you no longer risk burning your favorite shirt.

Automatic Steam Supply (Sensor)

Yes

Automatic Steam Supply (Sensor)

Thanks to a smart motion sensor, the iron detects when you move it over the fabric and automatically releases the steam needed. As soon as you stop, the steam stops too. This way, your hand doesn’t get tired at all from pressing triggers.

Integrated LED Lighting

No

Silent Operation

Yes

Silent Operation

If you like watching TV, listening to music, or if the children are simply sleeping while you iron, this function uses special noise-dampening filters. It keeps the noise (from the water being drawn and the steam release) to an absolute minimum.

Quick Preheat

Yes

Quick Preheat

You no longer need to wait 5 or 10 minutes like before. Turn on the device and, by the time you open the ironing board and bring the clothes (that is, in under 2 minutes), the steam indicator light turns on and the iron is fully ready for action.

Eco Mode

Yes

Eco Mode

By pressing the Eco button, the device intelligently reduces the amount of steam. It is the ideal setting for clothes that are not particularly wrinkled, while also saving you up to 20-30% in electricity and water consumption.

Auto Power Off

Yes

Auto Power Off

The most important safety feature. If you leave the iron stationary for a few minutes (either standing on its base or left forgotten with the soleplate facing down), the appliance detects it and switches off automatically. You will never again have to wonder when leaving the house: "Did I unplug the iron?"

Maintenance

Descaling Method

Permanent Collector (Calc Collector)

Descaling Method

Permanent Collector (Calc Collector)

The ultimate and most economical solution! It is a metal rod (or flush valve) in the base, where all the limescale collects. You simply unscrew it, rinse it under the tap, and put it back in again, with absolutely no cost for replacement parts.

Descaling Cleaning Alert

Yes

Descaling Cleaning Alert

You don’t need to keep a log of when you last descaled it. The appliance automatically tracks the hours of use and, as soon as it determines that limescale has built up, a light on the control panel turns on to remind you to perform maintenance, thus protecting its motor from damage.
