5. SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
•
Always check first to see whether ironing instructions are attached to the article to be ironed (they can be found
on a label showing a drawing of an iron. The numbers of dots indicate the correct temperature. Refer to the
indications on the temperature dial and in the table below). Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
•
If ironing instructions are missing but you do know the kind of fabric, then see the below. The table is
valid for the actual materials and do not concern any applied finish, gloss etc.
•
Textile to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle relief etc.) can best be ironed on
somewhat lower temperatures.
•
Sort the fabrics out according to ironing temperature first: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. The
iron heats up quicker than it cool downs. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the lowest
temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Then progress to higher ones.
•
Turn the temperature control knob round until it is opposite the setting pointer.
