A powerful continual steam rate of 50g/min allows the Azur Performer Plus to power through creases with ease, it uses a T-ionic Glide soleplate, the clever coating provides easy glide across garments & thanks to the carefully designed vent holes you get an even steam distribution. A built in calc container collects all of the calc particles during ironing, these are then flushed out when you use the built in self clean process. The self-clean process will ensure your steam performance & longevity of the iron. Should you accidentally leave the iron on, after 8 minutes of standing upright, should you leave it resting on the soleplate however, it will switch off after 30 seconds.
