01 / HOW TO IDENTIFY IT
Match the shape, not just the words.
Look for the hand-iron silhouette. Dots set temperature levels; a crossed iron forbids hot ironing. Some current marks add an explicit steam restriction.
This mark is the low-temperature 120°C iron with a no-steam restriction introduced in the current international system. The no-steam detail is not optional.
02 / WHAT TO DO
The practical decision.
Turn off the iron’s steam function completely and check whether a press cloth is suitable for the garment. A quick steam burst can still violate the tag.
Steam may cause irreversible damage to this article.
03 / WHAT PEOPLE CONFUSE
One small detail changes the meaning.
A standard one-dot iron may allow a different handling decision; distinguish the printed no-steam variant before treating the item.
04 / AFTER YOU IDENTIFY IT
Check the rest of the tag.
The washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional-care instructions work together. This page interprets one symbol only; a blank or unreadable mark does not grant permission for any other treatment.
Never replace the maker’s written instructions with a guess based only on material composition or appearance. Read the complete care-label method.
