Sunbeam 4059 instruction manual Ironing Tips

IRONING TIPS

• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturers ironing instructions.

• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.

•Garments requiring low temperature and steam should be ironed first to avoid damaging

garments with a too-hot iron.

•If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area such as a seam or facing before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.

• When changing the temperature from	a high setting to a low setting, allow approximately
5 minutes for the lower temperature to	be reached.

•When steam ironing, use long slow glides. This will allow the steam to penetrate the fabric while it allows the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.

•To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use a too-hot iron as lining may melt or stick to soleplate.

•To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron over the flap Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.

•Use the following chart to select the best setting and method for the fabric you plan to iron.
