Tips for ironing
Prior to ironing, always check the garment
7
label to ensure the correct tempearture is set
on the iron.
Since the iron heats up much quicker than it
7
cools down, synthetic textiles, silk or similar
fabrics should be ironed using lower tempera-
ture settings first.
If the garment is made of combined types of
7
fabric, always begin with the lowest tempera-
ture setting first.
Silk and other textiles that tend to shine should
7
be ironed inside out. Velvet and other types of
fabric that shine should be ironed with very lit-
tle pressure and only in one direction. Always
keep moving the iron while ironing.
Do not use the steam function when ironing
7
coloured silk. This could cause stains.
Garments made of 100% pure wool can
7
be ironed using steam. Set the temperature
control dial preferably to the MAX setting and
lay a dry towel between the garment and the
iron.
Ironing wool garments can cause them to
7
'shine'. It is therefore recommended to iron
such garments inside out.
Caution
Never iron on metal parts, such as zippers,
7
rivets, or metal buttons as they could damage
the soleplate. Always iron around these metal
parts.
