IRONING TIPS
·
Always check first if there is a label attached to the garment with instructions for ironing. If so, always
follow these instructions.
·
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Therefore, always iron garments that need the lowest
temperature first, such as synthetic fabrics.
·
If a fabric consists of several types of fibres, always choose the lowest temperature to iron the
combination of these fibres.
·
Silks and other fabrics that shine should be ironed along the inside.
·
Velvet and other fabrics that become shiny quickly should be ironed with light pressure in one
direction. Always keep the iron moving.
·
Never iron over zips or other metal objects in a garment. This can damage the soleplate. Always iron
around such objects.
Attention: when ironing woollen fabrics, the fabric may become shiny. Therefore, turn the garment inside
out to iron it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
·
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning.
·
Wipe off any residue on the ironing sole with a damp cloth or a non-caustic (liquid) cleaning product.
·
Note: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive products to scrub the soleplate clean.
