GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.

PREPARATIONS

Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.

Fabric not to be ironed

 

 

 

Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.

This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
