Preparing your garments
The appliance is only intended for ironing
shirts and blouses made with non-elasticated
fabric. Garments must be spin-dried prior to
ironing.
Warning!
Do not iron knitwear or garments made
with elasticated fabric! They may loose
shape.
Ironing
In order to get the best results from ironing:
❏ Spin dry the garment at 800
revolutions/minute after washing.
❏ Shirts and blouses can be spin-dried at
lower speeds if your washing-machine does
not have an 800 revolution/minute spin-dry
programme. Ironing will take longer.
❏ Thick, soft material, such as brushed cotton
or denim, can be spin-dried at higher
speeds.
❏ All fabrics are ironed at the same
temperature. There is no risk of
overheating. The only factor that varies
according to the fabric being ironed is the
ironing time.
❏ The ironing time depends on the quality of
the fabric being ironed, its weight, the
dampness remaining after being washed
and dried and the size of the shirt/blouse.
❏ In the case of an average-quality, cotton
shirt, the ironing/drying process takes about
9 min, of which one minute is set aside for
airing with cold air.
❏ The shirt is totally ironed when it is dry.
❏ Be sure to note the type of fabric being
ironed.

Ironing / Airing
The Ironing/Airing programme airs the
garment with cold or warm air.
The ironing/airing programme is ideal for suit
jackets, sports jackets, sports coats and all
types of jacket made from textile.
There are two different airing programmes.
Use " cold" (cold airing) to air garments that
have not been worn very much.
Use " hot" (hot airing)
❏ To dry damp jackets
❏ To iron jackets, as long as the manufacturer
endorses damp garments. Jackets need to
be slightly damp in order to be ironed.
❏ To complete the drying of thick fabrics that
were not entirely dried out during ironing.
The table below shows approximate airing
times.
