Begin ironing with the garments requiring lower temperature settings. doing this
shortens the waiting time (the iron heats up faster than it cools) and reduces the
risk of scorching garments.
If the garment consists of a mixture of fibres, set the iron according to the fibre that
requires the lowest temperature.
If uncertain about the fibre content of a garment, testing on a minor area of it
before ironing is recommended. In doing this, start with a low temperature. If
wrinkles persist, gradually increase the temperature to find the best setting for the
garment.
To prevent the garments from being stained or damaged, it is best to iron them on
the reverse side.
When changing the temperature setting, please allow the iron 2 minutes to adjust.
