How To Put It Away; Advice For Good Ironing - Continental Electric CE23191 Instruction Manual

HOW TO PUT IT AWAY

- At the end of the using ,regulate the steam dial to "0"point.
- When there is no steam ,regulate the temperature dialto "Min"point. Disconnect the
plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron vertically to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.

ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING

We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes
(sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the tem-
perature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don't know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature
by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and in-
crease it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes
the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess
heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and
do not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased.
This also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
