CSIG 511 specifications

The Electrolux CSIG 511 is a modern, sleek steam generator iron designed to make the task of ironing more efficient and comfortable. This appliance combines powerful steam technology with user-friendly features, ensuring that every crease is smoothed out with ease.

One of the standout features of the CSIG 511 is its impressive steam output. With a continuous steam production of up to 130 g/min, it delivers a strong burst of steam that penetrates fabrics deep, making it particularly effective for tackling stubborn wrinkles on various materials, including cotton and linen. This high steam output is complemented by a steam boost function, which can generate an even more concentrated burst of steam at 480 g, ideal for vertical steaming of hanging garments or delicate fabrics.

The CSIG 511 also boasts a large water tank capacity of 1.5 liters, allowing for extended ironing sessions without the need for frequent refills. The tank is detachable, making it convenient to fill up under the tap. Additionally, the appliance features a built-in anti-calc system that helps combat limescale buildup, ensuring longevity and performance over time.

User comfort is a priority in the design of the Electrolux CSIG 511. It features an ergonomic handle that is comfortable to grip for prolonged use, and the iron itself is lightweight, reducing fatigue during lengthy ironing tasks. The 2.5-meter power cord provides flexibility and ease of movement, allowing users to freely navigate around the ironing area.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the advanced soleplate technology of the CSIG 511. The soleplate is designed with a durable non-stick coating that glides smoothly over fabrics, preventing snagging while enhancing heat distribution for optimal results. The pointed tip of the soleplate aids in reaching difficult areas such as collars and seams with precision.

Safety features have also been thoughtfully incorporated into the CSIG 511. It includes an automatic shut-off function that activates when the appliance is left unattended for a designated period, reducing fire risks and providing peace of mind.

In summary, the Electrolux CSIG 511 steam generator iron is a powerful and efficient appliance that combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design. With high steam output, a large water tank, ergonomic features, and safety mechanisms, it transforms ironing into a quick and hassle-free experience for users.
