For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam
setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or if instrustions
are missing from the garment, use the table above for proper
temperature setting.
To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron; it is best to
first iron garments that require a low temperature. If you should need
to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example “••• ”
to “ • ”, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower temperature.
Tips: If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low
setting and test the iron on an area of the garment that does not show,
such as a seam. Gradually increase the heat setting until wrinkles
remove without damaging the fabric.
To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate or
rayon inside out.
