Tips for ironing
7
Prior to ironing, always check the garment
label to ensure the correct tempearture is set
on the iron.
7
Since the iron heats up much quicker than it
cools down, synthetic textiles, silk or similar fab-
rics should be ironed using lower temperature
settings first.
7
If the garment is made of combined types of
fabric, always begin with the lowest tempera-
ture setting first.
7
Silk and other textiles that tend to shine should
be ironed inside out. Velvet and other types of
fabric that shine should be ironed with very lit-
tle pressure and only in one direction. Always
keep moving the iron while ironing.
7
Do not use the steam function when ironing col-
oured silk. This could cause stains.
7
Garments made of 100% pure wool can be
ironed using steam. Set the temperature control
dial
K
preferably to the MAX setting and lay
a dry towel between the garment and the iron.
7
Ironing wool garments can cause them to
'shine'. It is therefore recommended to iron
such garments inside out.
Caution
7
Never iron on metal parts, such as zippers, riv-
ets, or metal buttons as they could damage the
soleplate
M
. Always iron around these metal
parts.
