Tips for ironing
Prior to ironing, always check the garment label
7
to ensure the correct temperature 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
little pressure and only in one direction. Always
keep moving the iron while ironing.
Do not use the steam function when ironing co-
7
loured 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 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
C
parts.
