IRONING TIPS
• Alwaysreadgarmentlabelsandfollowthemanufacturer’sironinginstructions.
• Sortthearticlestobeironedaccordingtothetypeoffabric.
• Youshouldfirstirongarmentsrequiringlowtemperature(e.g.,silksandsynthetics)toavoid
 damagingthemwithanironthatistoohot.
• Ifyouareunsureofthefabriccontentofthegarment,testasmallarea,suchasaseamor
 facing,beforeironingavisiblearea.Startwithalowtemperatureandgraduallyincreasethe
 heattofindthebestsetting.
• Whenchangingthetemperaturefromahighsettingtoalowsetting,allowapproximately5
 minutesforthelowertemperaturetobereached.
• Whensteamironing,uselong,slowpassesoverthefabric.Thiswillallowthesteamto
 penetratethefabricwhileallowingtheheatofthesoleplatetodryoutthemoisture.
• Toironlinens,turngarmentinsideout.Becarefulnottouseanironthatistoohotbecause
 theliningmaymeltorsticktothesoleplate.
• Toironzippers,useanironingclothormakesurethezipperisclosedandironovertheflap.
 Neverirondirectlyoveranunprotectedzipper.
• Usethe“IroningGuide”toselectthebestsettingandmethodforthefabricyouplantoiron.
