1. What is the benefit of having an iron that does not have to be picked up?

  • Ergonomics: Keeping the iron horizontal is much better on the hand, wrist, forearm, shoulder and back.
  • Safety: The center of mass allows the iron to be the most stable in the horizontal position. In the vertical position, it can be still tipped over like other conventional irons. In the horizontal position, it is very difficult to tip over the iron.
  • Efficiency: The iron is much safer and efficient in the horizontal position. The hot soleplate is not exposed, so there is less risk of burning or injury. Less electricity is wasted when the iron is kept horizontal.

 

2. Will the lifters get hot and burn the fabric?

No. The lifters are part of the Auto-Lift System. They are made of heat-resistant polymers that stay cool, even when the soleplate is hot.

 

3. Will the lifters snag the fabric?

No. The lifters will not snag the fabric because they recede completely into the soleplate when the iron is in use.

 

4. How much water does the water tank hold?

The tank holds about 12 ounces of water (filled to the max fill line); making refilling less frequent.

 

5. How do I add water to the Oliso Steam Iron?

Leave the iron in a horizontal position and open the side fill port. The side fill port makes it easy to add water to the tank with the included fill cup or directly from a water bottle or a faucet.

 

6. What kind of water should I use?

Oliso recommends plain tap water. If you have very hard water, mix ½ tap water with ½ distilled water. Alternatively, bottled drinking water can be used. NEVER use 100% distilled water. Always empty your water tank between ironing sessions.

 

7. Why does Oliso not recommend 100% distilled water?

Distilled water is so clean it will actually remove minerals from the metals inside the iron causing premature leakage.

 

8. What are the differences in the soleplates?

  • TG1050 is stainless with a shiny finish
  • TG1100 and TG1600 have a chromium beadblast process on the stainless surface. This non-directional textured surface enables an effortless glide, increased durability and scratch resistance
  • TG1100 has more/expanded steam holes for steam
  • TG1600 has a larger flat space for pressing; designed for the professional users group (sewers, quilters, etc). Still has the same amount/power of steam as the TG1100

 

9. How do I clean the soleplate?

We recommend using a hot-iron soleplate cleaner or wiping a cool iron with a damp cloth.

 

10. How does the smart iron reduce leaking and dripping?

The patented Autolift system shuts off the water flow to the steam chamber immediately when the user let's go of the handle. Even though the iron stays in the horizontal position there will be no steam or dripping when the user lets go of the handle. Most other irons on the market are gravity fed and when they are tilted down to horizontal, they will start to create steam and sometimes drips as long as they remain in the horizontal position regardless of the user's hand position with the iron.

 

11. What is the rattling sound I sometimes hear?

The iron contains a ball bearing that may move, which may cause a rattling sound when ironing. This has no effect on the iron’s performance.

 

12. Do I need to push down on the handle for the iron to lower?

No. You do not need to push down on the iron for it to lower. Simply touch the top or bottom of the handle and the sensors will sense your hand and lower the iron automatically. As soon as you release the handle, the iron will automatically rise up.

 

13. What does the smart iron warranty cover?

The warranty covers all defects due to manufacturing.

14. How long is the smart iron warranty?

The warranty is good for one full year (12 months).
