IRONING TIPS
-Always check rst whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article. Follow
these ironing instructions in any case.
-The iron heats up quicker than cooling it down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles
requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic bre.
-If the fabric consists of various kinds of bres, you must always select the lowest ironing
temperature to iron the composition of those bres.
-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 any moment.
-Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position.
Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry p 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.
