General information about ironing
Alwayscheckrstwhetheralabelwith
ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
∙ The meaning of the ironing 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 of the
steam iron in the form of dot symbols.
∙ 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 fabrics, you
may carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the
lowest temperature.
∙ If the laundry is being dried in a dryer
before ironing, the temperature should
be adjusted to “iron dry”. Very dry fabrics
aredifculttoiron.
