Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this gauntlet; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain the integrity of the heat-resistant fibers, wash the gauntlet in your washing machine at a temperature between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these can degrade the recycled materials. Always ensure the gauntlet is completely air-dried after washing or after exposure to steam before using it again, as wet fabric conducts heat faster than dry fabric, reducing your protection.
