Ironing Tips (Continued)
If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, set the iron on the
lowest setting and start with a concealed area to test the setting.
DO NOT iron over metal objects, such as rivets, grommets, button, snaps
or buckles. These can damage the metal soleplate of the iron.
DO NOT set the iron on a metal surface to rest either when using the iron
or when it is off.
ALWAYS place your iron on its holding base when rearranging clothing or
when not in use.
DO NOT add any chemicals such as steam iron cleansers to the iron as
they may damage the interior components.
Typically, STEAM does not harm natural fabrics. Therefore, stronger
bursts of steam are recommended, especially for difficult to remove
wrinkles.
For DARK FABRICS: ALWAYS place a dry piece of light cotton between
the iron soleplate and fabrics to be ironed to avoid a shine on dark fabrics.
For better success ironing velvet, silk velvet or cotton velvet use a burst of
steam and then lightly brush the velvet in the same direction.
For cottons and linens, press light colored items on the normal side for a
smooth and shiny finish. For a duller finish press them on the reverse side.
For DARK COTTONS and LINENS: ALWAYS press on the reverse side to
avoid any marring of the fabric.
