S I E M E N S ENGLISH Tips to help you

Steam production consumes the most energy. To

help minimise the energy used, follow the advice

• 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

• 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’

• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the

steam regulator completely.
