Using an Iron: Basic Guidelines

To achieve optimal ironing results and avoid any damage to your clothes, it is important to adjust the temperature knob according to the specific fabric being ironed. Excessive heat can burn the fabric, while insufficient heat can result in inefficient ironing. Thus, it is crucial to find the right balance for each fabric type.

It is important to always turn the knob to 0 after each use.

Some principles when using an iron

Please stand the iron upright when not in use, such as when waiting to iron the other side of a garment or when changing clothes. This will prevent the flat surface of the iron from coming into contact with any surfaces, reducing the risk of burns caused by its high temperature.

Proper care should be taken when using an iron to prevent damage to the fabric. Excessive heat can cause the fabric to burn and become attached to the iron plate. Therefore, it is important to clean the iron thoroughly to prevent any residue from sticking to future clothes or pants.

Absolutely do not leave the iron and go outside

Please ensure that you do not leave the iron turned on and unattended while going outside.

Steam Ironing to Disinfect Germs: 2Notes Study

Unlike dry irons, steam irons require additional maintenance and safety measures. It is important to follow these steps to properly clean the iron after each use:

Please set the temperature knob to “0”.

Please disconnect the iron.

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your iron, it is important to empty the water reservoir immediately after each use. Under no circumstances should you store the iron with water inside, as this can lead to dampness and damage to the iron plate.

Please switch the Steam/Dry knob to the dry position.

If the knob is not set to the “Dry” position, there is a risk that the excess water will flow down to the iron plate, leading to damage and potential burns during the next use.

Please ensure that the iron has fully cooled before storing it. Always store the iron in an upright position to prevent damage to its plate from scratches, dirt, or corrosion.
