Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles
requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres.
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing
temperature to iron the composition of those fibres.
Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side.
To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.
Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light
pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any given moment.
Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position. Preferably
set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.
Note: when ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you
should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
IRONING TIPS
IRONING TIPS FOR CORDLESS IRONS
Using a cordless iron requires a slightly different technique than using a corded
iron.
•
Remember: Once the iron is removed from the base, it is disconnected from
the electricity supply. The iron uses residual heat in the sole plate to create
steam and smooth creases.
•
Place the iron back on its base promptly after each ironing run.
•
Once back on its base, the indicator light will illuminate and go out again once it
has reached temperature. The iron will usually reheat in a few seconds.
•
The length of time the iron stays at best temperature depends on the material
being ironed, the temperature setting selected and how often the steam shot
button is used.
•
If you are ironing large or heavy fabrics on high temperature with frequent use
of the steam shot, then it may be better to use the iron in corded mode (with
the base locked to the hand unit).
