To help minimisethe energy used, follow the advice below:• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironingtemperature.• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironingtemperature.• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the sprayfunction instead.• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce thesteam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics ratherthan the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironingthem, set the tumble drier to the ‘iron dry’ programme.• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulatorcompletely.• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontallywith the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.ImportantThis appliance has been designed exclusively for domestic useand must not be used for industrial purposes.Carefully read through the operating instructions for the applianceand safeguard them for future reference.General safety warnings• Danger of electric shocks or fire!• This appliance is to be connected and used in accordance withthe information stated on its characteristics plate.• This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket.
