Selecting the temperature:
• Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.

of fabric in question, use the chart below.

ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres ,always select the temperature
applicable ,if an article contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton ,you must
always choose the temperature corresponding to polyester and without
steam.
• First classify the articles to be ironed according to the most suitable ironing
temperature : wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. as the iron heats up as
fast as it cools , start by ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature
such as those made of synthetic fibres . Progress towards those that require
the highest temperatures.
