TIPS TO HELP YOU SAVE ENERGY
Steamproductionconsumesthemostenergy.Tohelpminimisethe
energyused,followtheadvicebelow:
• Regulatethesteamaccordingtotheselectedironingtemperature.
• 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tothe‘irondry’programme.
• Standtheironuprightduringpauses.Restingithorizontallywiththe
steamregulatorongenerateswastedsteam.

unplug the iron (very important!).
4.Holdtheironoverasink.Pressthe“clean”buttonuntilapproximately
onethirdofthewatercapacityofthetankisevaporated.Boilingwater
andsteamwillcomeout,carryingscaleordepositsthatmightbe
there.
5.Release the “clean” button, and gently shake the iron for some

The“secure”autoshut-offfunctionswitchesofftheironwhenitisleft
unattended,thusincreasingsecurityandsavingenergy.Afterplugging
intheappliance,thisfunctionwillbeinactiveforthersttwominutesin
ordertogivetheappliancetimetoreachthesettemperature.

After such time, if the iron is not moved for 8 minutes while in the
uprightpositionor30secondswhilerestingonitssoleplateoronits
side,thenthesafetycircuitwillswitchtheapplianceoffautomatically
andthepilotlightwillstartashing.
Toreconnecttheiron,justmoveitaboutgently.
Drip protection
(Modeldependent)
lfthetemperatureissettoolow,thesteamisautomaticallyswitched
offtoavoiddripping.
