Tips for ironing
Prior to ironing, always check the garment
7
label to ensure the correct tempearture is set
on the iron.
Since the iron heats up much quicker than it
7
cools down, synthetic textiles, silk or similar fab-
rics should be ironed using lower temperature
settings first.
If the garment is made of combined types of
7
fabric, always begin with the lowest tempera-
ture setting first.
Silk and other textiles that tend to shine should
7
be ironed inside out. Velvet and other types of
fabric that shine should be ironed with very lit-
tle pressure and only in one direction. Always
keep moving the iron while ironing.
Do not use the steam function when ironing col-
7
oured silk. This could cause stains.
Garments made of 100% pure wool can be
7
ironed using steam. Set the temperature control
dial
preferably to the MAX setting and lay
K
a dry towel between the garment and the iron.
Ironing wool garments can cause them to
7
'shine'. It is therefore recommended to iron
such garments inside out.
Caution
Never iron on metal parts, such as zippers, riv-
7
ets, or metal buttons as they could damage the
soleplate
. Always iron around these metal
M
parts.
