of•cloth•to•be•sure•that•the•iron•soleplate•(13)•and•
the•water•tank•(10)•are•clean.
•
Always•check•the•recommended•ironing•tem-
perature•indicated•on•the•tag•before•ironing.
• If• there• is• no• tag• with• recommendations• for•
ironing,•but•you•know•the•type•of•fabric,•use•
the•following•table•to•determine•proper•iron-
ing•temperature.
Icons Fabric type (temperature)
Do•not•iron
•
synthetics,•nylon,•acrylic,•polyester
(low•temperature)
••
silk/wool•(medium•temperature)
•••
cotton/linen•(high•temperature)
•
This•table•is•only•valid•for•smooth•materials.•
Fabrics•of•other•types•(crimped,•raised,•etc.)•
are•best•ironed•at•low•temperature.
•
First• sort• items• by• ironing• temperature:• syn-
thetics•to•synthetics,•wool•to•wool,•cotton•to•
cotton•etc.
• The• iron• heats• up• faster• than• it• cools• down.•
For•this•reason,•it•is•recommended•to•iron•the•
items•which•require•low•temperature•first•(for•
instance,• synthetic• fabrics).• After• that,• start•
ironing• at• higher• temperatures• (silk/wool).•
Cotton•and•linen•items•should•be•ironed•last.
