Acme IB100 [9/126] Selecting the temperature

Selecting the temperature

1. Check the ironing instructions on the label of the garment to be ironed.

2. If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in which

it is made, select the temperature accordingly.

3. Fabrics with a special nish (polishing, wrinkles and contrasts) should be ironed at the lowest

temperatures.

4. If the fabric contains several types of bres, always select the lowest temperature applicable

to the most fragile bres so as not to damage them. For example, if a garment contains 60%

polyester and 40% cotton, you must always select the temperature applicable to polyester

and iron without steam.

5. First sort the garments to be ironed according to their ironing temperature: wool with wool,

cotton with cotton, etc. As the iron heats up faster than it cools down, start by ironing the

articles requiring the lowest temperature, such as those made of synthetic bres. Progress

towards those that require the highest temperatures.
