temperature

Always read garment labels and fol-
low the manufacturer’s ironing
instructions. Refer to the Ironing
Chart on page 8 for temperature
recommendations.
Hints
• Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will
reduce the need to adjust the tem-
perature to suit varying garments.
• Start with garments requiring lower
temperatures and work your way
through to items requiring higher
temperatures.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks.
• If you are unsure of the fabric con-
tent of a garment, test a small area
such as a seam or inside hem sec-
tion before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature and
gradually increase the heat to find
the best setting for ironing the gar-
ment.
• When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the
steam iron to cool to the new set-
ting.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100 % wool)
can be steam ironed with the tem-
perature dial set to Wool. Use an
ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks on the fabric.
• Never iron areas of a garment
where perspiration marks are visi-
ble, as the heat of the steam iron
will fix the stains, making them
permanent.
