General information about ironing
∙ Laundry to be ironed should be
sorted according to the fabric ironing
temperature indicated on the label. Start
with the lowest temperature.
∙ Information on the appropriate ironing
temperature can usually be found on the
garment's characterisation label.
∙ The meaning of the symbols is as
follows:
• synthetics
(low temperature)
•• silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• cotton and linen
(high temperature)
∙ These markings can also be found on
the temperature control knob in the form
of dot symbols.
∙ When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
may carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, eg inside of seam.
∙ If the laundry is being dried in a dryer
before ironing, the temperature should
be adjusted to "iron dry". Very dry fabrics
are difficult to iron.
∙ For storage, and also when ironing is
interrupted, the iron must be placed
upright on its base stand.
