MODE ECO:
Your steam generator iron has an ECO mode function which uses less power whilst still guaranteeing a sufficient steam flow for you to
iron your garments properly. In order to use this function, once the thermostat of your iron has been correctly set (see table above),
position the steam flow setting on the ECO segment
or very creased fabrics, we recommend that you use the maximum steam flow for best results.

Dry ironing

Recommendations: for
fabrics other than linen or
cotton, hold the iron a few

garment to avoid burning
the fabric.
