setting for the most delicate
fabric. Woollen garments : press
repeatedly on the steam control
button (C) to obtain short bursts
of steam, without placing the
iron on the garment itself.
This will avoid making the fabric
shiny.

attempt to remove creases from
a garment while it is being
worn, always hang garment on
a coat hanger.
For fabrics other than linen or
cotton, hold the iron a few
centimetres from the garment
to avoid burning the fabric.
