TIPS ANd TrICkS
Temperature settings
The iron heats up faster than it cools down, so we recommend that you start ironing the fabrics requiring the
lowest temperature. Use the lowest temperature with fabrics that have unusual finishes, such as sequins or
embroidery. If you are unsure about the fabric, start with a low temperature and iron on a hidden corner. Then
increase the temperature gradually if needed.
Avoiding marks on the fabric
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks, the heat fixes the stains on the fabric.
Washing fabrics before ironing
If the washing machine is heavily loaded or the spin drying revolutions are very high, the fabrics may come out
more creased. However, many fabrics are easier to iron if they are damp.
