The ice will melt and create steam that will help relax the wrinkles.
Immediately remove the garment from the dryer and hang it to dry.

Allow the garment to dry before wearing.
Let it build a head of steam and direct the moisture toward the wrinkled item.
Keep moving the kettle around and be sure to protect your hands from the heat.
