Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:

- 1 for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)

- 1 for silk

- 2 for wool

- 3 for cotton

- MAX for linen

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,

determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be

visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to

prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

such as those made of synthetic bres.
