Practical recommendations:
-Classify the garments into groups by ironing temperature. The appliance heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore, to avoid accidents, minimise energy consumption and optimise time. It is advisable to start off ironing items that require lower temperatures and progress to those that need higher temperatures.
-Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the iron set to steam. Select a high steam temperature and place a cotton cloth between the iron’s metal surface and the garment.
