Preparing the laundry
15
Residual moisture
For an excellent finish and optimum ironing performance, the laundry
that is to be ironed should have the following levels of residual mois-
ture, depending on the type of ironing being carried out:
PM1214, PM1217: 15–25% residual moisture
PM1210: 15% residual moisture
The ideal level of residual moisture depends on the textile's proper-
ties.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry according to type and fabric before starting to iron.
At the same time, please observe the instructions on the wash care
label. We recommend sorting the laundry in the following order:
Type of material Symbol Temperature
Nylon and other synthetics 100–110°C
then
Woollens, silks 111–150°C
followed by
Cottons, linens 151–180°C
Starched laundry should always be ironed last.
Otherwise, any remaining starch residue on the heater plate may
have a negative effect when ironing other laundry items.
