tips
- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not
visible when you wear or use the article.
- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. For example: if a fabric consists of 60% polyester and 40%
cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (
1) and without steam.
- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
i.e. those made of synthetic materials.
- If you set a lower temperature during ironing, wait until the iron has
cooled down to the set temperature before you continue ironing. To
make the iron cool down faster, simply press the steam trigger or iron
a piece of cloth.
