• The table is valid for the fiber materials only. If some kind of finish
has been applied (gloss, wrinkle, relief etc.), the textile can best
be ironed at a lower temperature.
• First sort out the fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool
with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start
ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those
made of synthetic fibers. Then progress to the higher
temperatures.
• If the article is made of a mixture of different fibers, you must
always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition
of those fibers. (For example an item consisting of “60% polyester
and 40% cotton” should be ironed at the temperature indicated
for polyester and without steam.)
• If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article has been
made of, or for delicate fabrics, find a spot which will be invisible
when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing
temperature. (Always start at a low temperature and increase to
one which gives the required results.)
• Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set
to a steam position. It is recommended to set the selector switch
on position “Cotton”, apply shot-of-steam and use a dry pressing
cloth.
