English term or phrase: work up to higher settings
It is always a good idea to begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings.

For one thing, it seems to me that it's not the fabrics themselves that are cool, it's the temperature setting for these fabrics -right?

Je crois aussi qu'il faut interpréter "cool fabrics " en tant que "tissus imposant des températures basses".
