STEAM IRONING | 76 | PREPARATIONS
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the
garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
To save time, start ironing garments requiring a low temperature. This reduces the
waiting times (the Steam Iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and
eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
