How to get a professional
ironing finish
A normal iron generates only a small quantity of steam. In
this case it is necessary to produce steam constantly in
order to eliminate crease in the fabric being ironed.
A professional ironing system works rather differently. The
fabric is first made
Damp by the steam and then, in a second phase, dry-ironed
in the normal way. This means that every. Tiniest crease is
removed and your garments are ironed to perfection.
In the first phase (steam-damping of the fabric),hold the iron
about 20 cm. above
The fabric and press the steam(10). Pass the iron over the
garment in a circular movement so that the powerful jet of
steam damps the fabric. Lightly creased garments require
only a few moments of steaming. While very heavy fabrics
or garments with particularly difficult creases must be
damper, so steam must be applied for a few seconds more.
During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the
thermostat knob is in the correct position for the type of
fabrics; release the steam button(10) and dry-iron the
garment. The special ironing plate will prevent the fabrics
from becoming shiny. Using this ironing technique, and
following the suggestions in the chart above, you will find it
easy to give your garments a really professional ironing
finish.
