Ironing without steam
There are one or two ways to iron without steam:
- All types: Simply start ironing without pressing the steam trigger.
- Select steam setting a (no steam) and start ironing. (Fig. 11)
Tips
- When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To prevent this, use a dry
pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with
the nap) while you apply very little pressure.
- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
