IRONING TIPS

• Always check if the garment to be ironed has an ironing label. If so,  follow those instructions.
• The iron heats up much faster than it cools down. Therefore, you should start by ironing items that require a lower temperature such as those made with synthetic fiber.
• If the material to be ironed consists of several types of fibers, you must always choose the lowest recommended temperature among all the fibers.
• Silk and other shiny fabrics must be ironed inside.
• Velvet and other shiny textures should be ironed in one direction only with little pressure applied. Keep the iron moving at all times.
• 100% wool garments should be ironed with steam, preferably at maximum power and with a dry cloth as a mat.
• Never iron on zippers or rivets, as it will damage the sole.

Disposal of old electrical appliances.

Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain, and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected. Consumers  should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
