of fabric, use the chart below.
3. Fabrics with special finishes (polishing, pleats, etc) should be ironed at the
lowest temperature setting.
4. With mixed fibres always select the lowest applicable temperature.
5. Group items with similar fibres together, as the iron heats up faster than it
cools, start ironing items requiring the lowest temperature first.
