Ironing tips
• Always check first whether a label with ironing
instructions is attached to the article.
• Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore,
you should start ironing articles requiring the lowest
temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibre.
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must
always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the
composition of those fibres.
• Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become 'shiny'
should be ironed on the inner side.
• To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or
other delicate fabrics.
• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny
should be ironed in one direction with light pressure
applied. Always keep the iron moving at all times.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the
iron set at the steam position. Preferably set steam
button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a
mat.
Note: when ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may
occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article
inside out and iron the reverse side.
