•
Synthetics
(low temperature)
••
Silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• Cotton and linen

Th ese markings can also be found on the
temperature control knob of the iron in

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 fabric, you
may carefully test-iron on a non-visible

the lowest temperature.
If the laundry is put into a dryer before
ironing, the temperature should be
adjusted to 'iron dry' . Very dry fabrics are
diffi cult to iron.
