water. Do not use vinegar, starch or chemically descaled water.

by turning it to the appropriate position.
- Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature.
- 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester)

- If you do not know what kind of fabric(s) a garment is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will
be invisible when you wear the garment.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials; iron the reverse side of the
fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to
prevent stains.

before you start ironing.
