IRONING TIPS

• Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article. Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
• The iron heats up quicker than cooling it down, so you should start ironing the articles requiring the lower temperature such as those made of synthetic fiber.
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibers.
• Synthetic fibre and silk fabrics should be ironed on their inner side to avoid being shone.
• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keeps the iron moving at any moment.
• Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the steam iron. Use a dry cloth as a mat and then select the corresponding fabric setting for ironing.
• Never iron over zip, rivet in the cloth because this will damage the soleplate. Iron around any such object.
  
  NOTE: When ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
