ANTI-CALC SYSTEM

The anti-calc feature helps prevent the build up of mineral deposits in your iron. This
prolongs its life and improves the iron's performance.

IRONING TIPS

• Before ironing, check the garment label and follow manufacturer's instructions. If no
instructions, start with a low-heat setting and test by ironing a small area, and gradually
increase heat.
• Sort garments by fabric type. Iron articles requiring a low-temperature setting and
gradually work up the temperature range.
• When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower one, allow 5 minutes for
change.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric to allow the steam to pen-
etrate the fabric and the heat of the soleplate to dry the moisture.
• Iron linen garments inside out to prevent shine. An ironing cloth or cotton fabric can be
used to reduce shine.
• If the garment is lined, use a low heat setting.
• Ensure zippers are closed and flap is flat. Iron over the flap, holding the garment taut.
• Spray starch makes the job easier.
IRONING SHIRTS
• Begin with the collar and work toward the middle from the outer edges. Iron lengthwise,
not in circles.
• Lay shoulder over narrow edge of the board and iron one side of the front. Then iron the
shoulder, across the back (below the collar line), the other shoulder and the remainder of
the front.
• Iron sleeves and cuffs, working down from the underarm seams. To remove creases,
shift the double layer of sleeve fabric and iron out.
• Iron body of garment, from half of the front around the back, then second half of front. If
your shirt does not open, slip over end of ironing board and iron front and back in turn.
