Using the Softpressing soleplate
The Softpressing soleplate must be used for
dark materials
that are likely to become shiny and
synthetic
materials
that might stick to the soleplate.
To use the Softpressing soleplate:
1.
Place the iron in the soleplate.
2.
Pull the spring towards the end of the iron as shown in the drawing. Wait for about 2 minutes for the
soleplate to reach the same temperature as the iron. This avoids droplets of condensation falling onto the
material.
ALWAYS remove the Softpressing soleplate after use.
Silk
Vertical removal of creases
Hang the garment on a coat
hanger or hold it up.
With a sweeping movement from
top to bottom, lightly touch the
material while giving short bursts
of steam.
Note:
It is easy to remove creas-
es from most materials, except
for cotton, linen and some silks.
If it is difficult to remove the
creases from a material, iron it as
normal on the ironing board.
