Ironing tips
•
Always check first if there is a label on the garment with instructions for ironing.
If this is the case, then always follow these instructions.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Therefore, always iron the garments
that require the lowest temperature first, like synthetic fabrics.
•
If a fabric contains several types of fibres, always choose the lowest temperature
to iron the combination of these fibres.
•
Silk and other shiny fabrics should be ironed inside-out.
•
Velvet and other fabrics that easily become shiny should be ironing with slight
pressure, in one direction. Always keep the iron moving.
•
Fabrics that are a 100% wool can be ironed with steam. Set the temperature to the
maximum and use a dry cloth to place on the fabric.
•
Never iron over zippers or other metal objects in a garment. This can damage the
soleplate. Always iron around such objects.
Caution: if you iron woollen fabrics, the fabric may become shiny. That is why you
should turn the garment inside-out for ironing.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning it.
2. Wipe residues from the soleplate with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaner.
Caution: Do not use any chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to
scrape the soleplate.
3. Clean the upper part of the iron with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Wipe the water drops on the steam generator and the thermal insulation pads with
a dry cloth.
