The principles of professional ironing
Professional ironing is the result of the combined action of three different elements:
• The steam jet
• The heated top with suction/blowing action
• A professional steam-generating iron
The combined action of the steam jet and of the suction/blowing ironing board allows for
the best results in shorter time. The steam jet will help you to rapidly eliminate false crea-
ses, to purify and renovate your fabrics, removing unpleasant odours.
The heated surface keeps the ironing top dry, even when a lot of steam is emitted.
The suction holds the fabric firmly on to the ironing surface and pulls the steam through
it; resulting in clean and dry garments that require no further airing and can be worn
straight away.
The blowing function enables you to work on an air pillow, making it easier to iron deli-
cate fabrics or difficult areas (trouser creases, pockets, seams, areas difficult to reach),
thus avoiding the formation of false creases and the flattening of the seams.
There are many optional accessories to make your ironing easier and more effective.
TO IRON WITH STEAM THE THERMOSTAT OF THE IRON MUST ALWAYS BE SET
ON COTTON / LINEN. OTHERWISE THE IRON IS TOO COLD AND THE STEAM
COMING OUT OF THE SOLEPLATE COULD TURN INTO WATER.
FABRICS THAT DO NOT WITHSTAND HIGH TEMPERATURES MUST NOT BE IRO-
NED WITH STEAM. IN THESE CASES IT IS BEST TO TEST IRON ON A HIDDEN
AREA, EVEN IF YOU ARE USING THE TEFLON SOLEPLATE COVER. IF IN DOUBT
PLACE A WET CLOTH OVER WOOL, SILK OR VERY DELICATE FABRICS.
WITH THE BLOWING (AIR PILLOW) FUNCTION YOU CAN STEAM IRON DELICATE
FABRICS. HOLD THE IRON JUST ABOVE THE GARMENT AND BE CAREFUL NOT
TO TOUCH THE GARMENT DIRECTLY WITH THE IRON.
