- In principle, wrinkle removal is done by transferring heat to
fabric. Historically, this was done with a very hot soleplate.
Then steam was added to enhance heat transfer, thus making
ironing much faster. Our research confirmed that the best
way to remove wrinkles effectively is a perfect combination
of intense steam and optimal soleplate temperature. The key
to effective wrinkle removal is the steam, not the soleplate
temperature. The soleplate temperature needs to be just
above the steam temperature to remove any moisture. This is
the optimal temperature.
- In the past, a large amount of steam at this optimal
temperature would have led to water leakage. We developed
a unique patented cyclonic chamber to maintain high-
pressure steam that penetrates deep into the fabric for fast
ironing with no risk of water leakage.
- Ironing is now truly simple - no temperature adjustment, no
scorching, no waiting for the appliance to heat up or cool
down. It is faster, no matter who does the ironing. With this
OptimalTemp technology, every single garment can be ironed
effectively and safely.
