Ironing Tips

• For heat-sensitive fabric, cover the clothing with a piece of cotton fabric to avoid damage.
• If you are unsure about how this iron will work on a particular fabric, test the iron on a small discrete part of the fabric first.
• Use an ironing board – using any other type of board might damage the clothing, the board or the iron.
• The soleplate has a high temperature of up to 180 degrees when working. Therefore, please check the fabric to ensure it will be able to withstand this temperature. If you are not sure, try ironing a small discrete part of the fabric first to test.
• Do not hold the iron in the same position on the fabric for a long time as this may burn or damage the clothes.
• If the iron is too hot, it might leave yellow traces on your clothing. If this happens, humidify the stains with oxidised water, then rinse and dry.
• When ironing black or dark coloured clothing, turn them inside out first before ironing. This will avoid leaving trace marks on the fabric.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• If you need to clean your iron, unplug it and allow it to cool completely.
• Using a damp well-wrung cloth wipe the soleplate and other parts.
• Then use a dry cloth to dry off any dampness.
• When not in use, store the iron in the bag provided.
