Ironing Hints
WARNING: To prevent fire, do not leave iron unattended while connected.
•Sort articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will reduce the need to adjust the temperature for different types of garments.
•If you are not sure of the fiber content of a garment, test fabric by ironing a small area such as a seam or inside hem section before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature setting and gradually increase to find the best setting.
•When reducing the temperature to iron sensitive fabrics, allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to cool to the new temperature setting.
•Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen and silk are best ironed with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
CAUTION: DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur.
The burst of steam position is useful when ironing denim, cotton and linens. It provides quick bursts of steam which aid in removing stubborn wrinkles.
The burst of steam feature can be used with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.
1.Make sure the water tank is at least 1/2 filled with water.
2.Select the desired fabric and temperature setting. Place the iron on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) and allow it to heat for approximately 2 minutes.
3.Position variable steam control to the burst of steam position. (Fig. 3)
4.With the iron in a horizontal position, press the steam button several times to prime the pump.
Atomizer Spray Nozzle
The atomizer spray nozzle is useful on fabrics with stubborn wrinkles. Press the spray button and a jet of water will spray onto the fabric being ironed. (Fig. 4) The water spray can be used with dry or steam ironing as desired.
