Vertical removal of creases
Special materials
Using the Softpressing soleplate
The Softpressing soleplate must be used for dark materials that are likely to become shiny and synthetic
materials that might stick to the soleplate.
To use the Softpressing soleplate:
1. Place the iron in the soleplate.
2. Pull the spring towards the end of the iron as shown in the drawing. Wait for about 2 minutes for the
soleplate to reach the same temperature as the iron. This avoids droplets of condensation falling onto the
material. ALWAYS remove the Softpressing soleplate after use.
Make sure the Softpressing soleplate does not touch mohair, cashmere, velvet and
