Recommendations:

Fabrics and ironing temperatures:

•Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

•if you change to a program requiring lower temperatures, wait for the thermostat light to come on again before continuing to iron (for models fitted with the “Thermo-Alert”, refer to the section “Thermo-Alert function”).

•when ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre.

For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside them).

•For best results we recommend you use a vented ironing board to allow the powerful steam to penetrate through the fabric more efficiently.

•Ensure that the fabric you are ironing is flat to avoid steam venting sideways whilst ironing.
