RECOMMENDATIONS

•Select setting and save 20% energy compare with the maximum position.

•Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

•If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,

•When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

= STEAM ZONE

In order to avoid water dripping from the iron onto the linen:

-Turn off the steam when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics.

-Set it at the minimum position for wool.
