Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help
minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest
ironing temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature in the
label on the garment.
• 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.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam
regulator completely.
