Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your
laundry properly after washing and by putting garments on hangers to
make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.
Best practice shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves.
Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to prevent wrinkling the
bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the
outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the
collar and press the edge for a more crisp inish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and
faster ironing.
Cleaning and maintenance
To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the appliance
regularly.
Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove stubborn stains,
1
you can use a small amount of washing-up liquid.
To easily and effectively remove stains from the soleplate, switch on
2
the appliance and let it heat up. When the appliance has heated up,
move the iron over a moist cloth while you press the steam trigger.
Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.
