Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice
below:
1. Start by ironing the fabrics that require
the lowest ironing temperature. Check the
recommended ironing temperature in the label
on the garment.
2. Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
3 Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use
the spray function instead.
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'
program.
4. If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the
steam regulator (3) completely.
5. Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting
it horizontally with the steam regulator on
generates wasted steam.
