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 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

approximately 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

5.ANTI-DRIP FUNCTION
