Steam iron Use instructions
The table is valid for fabrics and not for brilliant surfaces, with relief printings or folds which must be
ironed with low temperature. Before using the iron, always make sure that the temperature of iron is
adapted to the type of fabric: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
The iron heats quickly and cools slowly; thus always start with clothing which requires a low tempe-
rature (like synthetic fabrics) and always progress with the highest temperatures.
When the cloth is made of several fabrics, set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.
If you do not know the type of fabric we recommend to iron the internal parts of clothing, from lowest
temperature, and then finding the temperature more adapted. If clothing becomes “brilliant”, stop
immediately in order to not damage it. Then start to iron it on the back.
N.B. Pay attention to the symbol : that means that the fabric must not be ironed.
