Condition of laundry

For a good finish, the ideal residual moisture

level is about 25%.

Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the

final rinse helps to reduce the residual

moisture level, and the residual heat in the

laundry will help keep processing time

down, thus saving energy.

Laundry with a synthetic fibre content

greater than 50% (e.g. Dralon) must not

be ironed as the high temperatures would

melt the fabric. Laundry with a lower

synthetic content can be ironed at a low

temperature.

Sorting the laundry

Before starting to iron, laundry should be

sorted according to size and type of fabric.

First iron articles made from:

perlon, nylon etc. ß - low temperature

Then iron

woollens and silks ßß - medium temperature

Then iron

cotton and linen

fabrics ßßß - high temperature.

If you want to switch back to ironing at a

lower temperature, reduce the temperature

setting and then wait until the "Heating"

indicator light comes on again.

Starched laundry should be ironed last to

prevent any starch residues on the heater

plate from affecting other items of laundry.

Items with buttons should be passed

through the ironer with the buttons facing

into the roller padding. If they face

downwards there is a danger of them being

damaged or torn off when the item is passed

through the ironer.

A cloth should be placed over zips, metal

buttons and hooks to protect the heater

plate during ironing.

Metal and plastic buckles and very bulky

buttons should not be passed through the

ironer.

Important Before using the ironer you

should clean the heater plate by running a

cloth through the entire width of the roller.

Useful tips

If a tumble dryer is being used, select a

"Machine iron" programme.

Use warm water if preparation time is short

to redampen laundry.
