tips

 - If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an ar ticle is made of, determine the right ironing 

temperature by ironing a par t that is not visible when you wear or use the ar ticle.

 -

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. 

 - Star t ironing the ar ticles 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.
