Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice
below:
1. Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual. Iron at "eco" steam setting (see
"setting the steam amount" section).
2. 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.
3. If the fabrics are damp enough, set the steam
to the
position (see "ironing without steam"
section).
Cleaning & Maintenance
See the leaflet sides
E
Attention ! Risk of burns !
Always unplug the appliance from the
mains supply before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operation on it.
1. If the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the
plug and allow the soleplate (13) to cool down.
Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a
damp cotton cloth only.
2. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the
high temperature on the soleplate, switch off
