Ironing Tips

•Always check fabric content before ironing. If the fabric is a blend, use the lower temperature setting.

•If the fabric content is unknown, use the lowest temperature setting and test on an inside seam of the garment.

•If ironing several items, start ironing the items which need the lowest temperature setting first. An iron heats up much faster than it cools down.

•To maintain the quality of the soleplate, never iron over zippers, pins, buttons, or anything metal.

•Use caution when ironing around plastic buttons and zippers as these may melt.
