10.2 SUGGESTIONS
• Check the label. For those who still have not
gained confidence through practice,
remember that all garments have a label
showing:
• the type of fabric
• if it can be ironed
• the most appropriate temperature.
• Cotton and silk. Natural fibre garments
(cotton and silk) can be ironed better if they
are slightly damp.
• Saving time and money. Separate your
household linen according to the type of
fabric and iron your clothes at the same
temperature.
• A "free" trick. When you have finished
ironing, use the remaining heat to iron
delicate garments, which require lower
temperatures.
• Cleaning. Thoroughly clean the soleplate of
the iron and the steam holes.
• Direct the first steam jet toward a separate
piece of cloth.
• When ironing, press the luminous button
(36) only at an appropriate distance.
• Let the iron gently slide across the garment.
You do not have to apply excessive pressure.
• Always iron on an ironing surface, which is
permeable to steam and heat resistant.
• Dry clothes should be ironed to avoid
additional formation of creases.
• Delicate garments should be ironed inside
out.
