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 ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
