Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.
 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 for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 for silk
- 2 for wool
- 3 for cotton and 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 is not visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. To
prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of
synthetic fibres.
 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
The amber temperature light goes on (Fig. 6).
