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
on all types of fabrics, however, for very thick or very creased fabrics, we recommend that you use the maximum steam
flow for best results.
