TIPS TO HELP YOU SAVE ENERGY
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help
minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing
temperature, following the instructions in this manual.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce
the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the
fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics
before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’
programme.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally
with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
