IRONING HINTS
WARNING: To prevent fire, do
not leave iron unattended while
connected.
• Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature
for different types of garments.
• If you are not sure of the fiber content
of a garment, test fabric by ironing a
small area such as a seam or inside
hem section before ironing a visible
area. Start with a low temperature
setting and gradually increase to find
the best setting.
• When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow approx.
two (2) minutes for the iron to cool to
the new temperature setting.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
