General information about ironing
Always check fi rst whether a label with
ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
– Th e meaning of the ironing symbols is as
follows:
• synthetics
(low temperature)
•• silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• cotton and linen
(high temperature)
– Th ese markings can also be found on the
temperature control knob of the iron in
form of dot symbols.
Laundry to be ironed should be
sorted according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
can carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, e.g. the inside of a seam. Start with
the lowest temperature.
If the laundry has been being dried in a
dryer before ironing, the temperature
should be adjusted to 'iron dry' . Very dry
fabrics are diffi cult to iron.
