Points On Ironing - Miele HM 16-80 Operating Instructions Manual

The following notes are intended as
helpful suggestions. You will probably
find several alternative routines which
suit your own method of working.
Tea towels, hand towels, handker-
chiefs and serviettes etc.
Lay the item with the straight grain of
the fabric to the feed board. This will
prevent it going out of shape and it will
be easier to fold. Pass handkerchiefs
and serviettes diagonally through the
ironer and, if necessary, fold them and
then iron again.
Please use the whole length of the
roller.
Table cloths
You can avoid folds by ironing the mid-
dle first.
^ Place the table cloth crossways so
that the ends hang over to the left
and right.
^ Iron the middle section.

Points on ironing

^ Fold in half with un-ironed edges to-
gether and place over the left end of
the roller with the ironed middle sec-
tion hanging over the edge to prevent
creasing. Then pass both sides of the
the un-ironed sections through the
ironer.
Sheets and bedspreads
Sheets may be ironed like tablecloths,
or if a lengthwise fold is acceptable,
fold the sheet together lengthwise and
iron it on both sides.
To accentuate embroidery and raised
patterns on bedspreads to best advan-
tage, iron first in one direction and then
in the other.
