Controlling the Temperature
Set the temperature control knob according to the following fabric settings:
• Synthetics | •• Silk/Wool | ••• Linen/Cotton |
Note: Steam can only be produced when the temperature control knob is set on the max (••• linen/cotton) setting.
Ironing Tips
1.Sort the articles to be ironed according to the fabric. Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam of the garment and these should be followed at all times. Start by ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting.
2.If you are unsure of the fiber content of a garment, test a small area (a seam or inside hem) before ironing.
3.When in doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase heat to find the setting that provides the best results without damaging the fabric.
4.Avoid ironing over zippers and rivets on jeans as they will scratch the soleplate.
