No drip system

Your iron is fitted with a no drip system which is designed to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold.

During use, the no drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.

Auto shut-off

Your iron is fitted with the auto shut-off function, it will automatically shut down after a set period. The ‘safety switch off’ LED will flash on the function panel.

If the iron is left unattended in the horizontal position, it will shut down after 1 minute.

If it is left in the vertical position, it will shut down after 8 minutes.

To reactivate the iron, gently shake it and wait for the iron to heat-up as normal.

Life long anti-scale system

The life long anti-scale system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.
