Start with the materials that require the lowest heat settings. If you are not sure what material has been used in the garment, first of all carefully iron a small area (hem-piece or an inner edge). In cases of serious doubt, start with a low iron temperature. If creases remain, slowly increase the heat level in steps. When you have found the temperature which gives the best ironing results, do not increase the temperature further. Never raise the temperature so high that the material of the garment could be damaged. -6- IB_KH1282_E5554_UK 28. 08. 2007 16:22 Uhr Seite 7 Connection · Insert the power plug into a power socket.
