IRONING INSTRUCTIONS

Sort the clothes according to type of fabric before ironing. This helps to avoid frequently
•
changing the temperature setting.
• Always check the garment label to identify the type of fabric. Select the temperature
according to the instructions on the label.
If there is no temperature setting instructions on the label, then it is recommended to begin
•
with the lowest temperature. Caution! Synthetic fabrics could melt.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• It is advised to wait a few minutes prior to ironing delicate fabrics. The steam iron needs a bit
of time to adjust from higher to lower temperature settings. To be on the safe side, let the
steam iron cool down until the power indicator light goes on. It is recommended to iron
garments with the lowest ironing temperature first and then those with the higher temperature
because the steam iron heats up faster than it cools down.
• For delicate fabrics, such as for example, silk, wool, satin, etc., it is best to use an ironing
cloth to prevent shiny spots.
• When ironing mixed-fibre fabrics, always begin with the lowest temperature first and try it first
on a hidden spot.
