new wrinkles than the wrinkles
you have ironed out.
– Do not hold the iron still in one
place. Keep the iron constantly
moving across the garment.
– Hang the ironed garments on a
clothes hanger or clothes line
before you hang them in the
closet. Laundry that has just
been ironed wrinkles easily and
should therefore cool off.
– Never iron directly over metal
appliqués, buttons or zips on
the clothing. You may damage
the soleplate.
Fabrics and temperatures
– Always observe the information
on the care labels of the textiles
to be ironed. Certain materials
such as fabrics containing syn-
thetic fibres, silk and wool may
not be ironed at all or only at low
temperatures.
– If a garment is composed of dif-
ferent textiles, always use the
lowest corresponding temper-
ature level.
– Keep in mind that the sensitivity
of some textiles may be altered
by chemical modifications such
as a finish or impregnation.
– Iron wool garments with steam.
We recommend using the max-
imum temperature setting and

placing a towel underneath and
on top of the garment to prevent
direct contact with the iron.
Textiles with this sym-
bol may not be ironed.
Ironing inside-out or
right-side-out
– If you would like a shiny textile
surface (e.g. table cloths), iron
the textile right-side-out. If you
do not want a shiny surface,
iron the textile inside-out.
– Ironing textiles such as silk will
quickly produce a shiny effect.
To avoid this effect, you should
always iron them inside-out.
– Only iron dark and sensitive
fabrics inside-out. Or place a
towel between the soleplate
and the section of fabric to be
ironed.
– Particularly with velvet and cor-
duroy, always place a towel be-
tween the soleplate and textile
as direct ironing will produce
shiny areas.
– Appliqués and embroidery look
especially good if you begin by
ironing these right-side-out on a
soft surface and then inside-out.
