Your iron may be displaying units such as low, medium, and high temperatures. For ease of understanding, the temperature display is in Celsius and Fahrenheit units.
| Clothing Type | Temperature (Fahrenheit) | Temperature (Celsius) |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | 250-275°F | 121-135°C |
| Nylon | 250-275°F | 121-135°C |
| Spandex/Lycra | 250-275°F | 121-135°C |
| Acetate | 250-290°F | 121-143°C |
| Polyester | 275-298°F | 135-148°C |
| Wool | 275-300°F | 135-148°C |
| Silk | 280-300°F | 138-150°C |
| Rayon | 325-375°F | 163-190°C |
| Triacetate | 325-390°F | 163-200°C |
| Cotton | 380-400°F | 193-204°C |
| Linen | 400-450°F | 204-232°C |
What is Considered Low, Medium, and High Temperature?
Here’s a correlation between the low, medium, and high temperatures to approximate degrees of temperature.
1. Low Temperature:
This setting is usually 230 degrees F or lower. You can set the dial to 1. You can iron fabrics such as acetate, lycra, nylon, etc.
2. Medium Temperature:
Temperature ranges from 230 degrees F to 300 degrees F. Set the dial to 2 or 3. This setting is appropriate for ironing acrylic, lace, polyester, silk, and wool.
3. High Temperature:
This setting sets the temperature at 300 degrees or more. Setting the dial to 4 or above (if available) sets the highest temperature. This temperature is perfect for cotton, denim, linen, rayon/viscose
