setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.
2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate
position (Fig. 5).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
- 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 Silk
- 2 Wool
- 3 Cotton, linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing
temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest
ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

The amber temperature light goes on.

4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start to iron (Fig. 6).
