Using Your Steam Iron
Ironing Tips
• It is recommended to use the lowest temperatures with fabrics that
have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.)
• If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the
thermostat to the temperature of the fibre requiring the lower
temperature.
• If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the
suitable temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment.
Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it
reaches the ideal temperature.
• Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the
heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them
irremovable.
• The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate
temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a
yellow mark.
• To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments, iron them
inside out.
• To avoid marking velvet garments, iron in one direction (following
the fibre) and do not press down on the iron.
• The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments
come out creased. This also happens when the spin drying
revolutions are very high.
• Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
• For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
