Ironing temperature guide
• Follow the ironing instructions on the garment label. If these instructions are missing
but you do know the kind of fabric, consult the table.
• This table is only valid for plain fabrics and not for materials to which finishes,
glosses etc. have been applied. Textile to which some kind of finish has been
applied (gloss, crinkle, relief etc.) is best ironed at lower temperatures.
• First sort the laundry according to ironing temperature: put wool with wool, cotton
with cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing articles
that need to be ironed at the lowest temperature, such as those made of synthetic
fibres.
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature
required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. If, for example, an
article consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the
temperature indicated for polyester (1) and without steam.
• If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article is made of, find out the
appropriate temperature by ironing a piece of material that will not be visible when
you wear or use the article and start ironing at a relatively low temperature.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam
position. It is advisable to set the steam control (B) to maximum position and to use
a dry pressing cloth.
• When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. You can prevent this
by turning the article inside out and ironing the reverse side.
