[. . . ] Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Then progress to the higher temperatures. ⷠIf the article is made of a mixture of different fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition of those fibres. An article consisting of "60% polyester and 40% cotton" should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (1) and without steam. ) If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the 4 Article has been made of, find a spot which will be invisible when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing temperature. (Always start at a low temperature and increase to one which gives the required results. ) · Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. It is recommended to apply shot-of-steam and use a dry pressing cloth. When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. This can be prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the inside. ⷠVelvet and other textures which rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction only (with the nap), applying only light pressure. The further the control is rotated clockwise, the more steam is produced. During steam-ironing the two pilot lights (B) and (G) will come on from time to time. When this happens, either the iron or the steam tank is being heated-up to the required temperature. For ironing without steam, set the steam control (I) to position O or do not press-in the steam activator (F). ⷠYou may switch off the steam tank by setting switch (B) to Off-position (O) if you do not intend to use "shot-of-steam" and/or "jet of steam". High steam output coming from a limited number of holes in the soleplate) can help remove stubborn wrinkles over a large area. This is possible during dryironing as well as steam-ironing. - Always set the temperature dial (H) to 12 the steam range (2 or 3). Otherwise the soleplate is not hot enough so that water may drip from it. Steaming in a vertical position Hanging curtains and clothing (jackets, woman's suits, coats) can be steamed by holding the iron in a vertical position (fig. - For transport there are handgrips on either side of the steam tank (fig.
