SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

1.Place the iron on the cradle.

2.Press the steam button down.

3.Turn the temperature control dial to the proper temperature, according to the Fabric Guide (shown below).

Irons heat up more quickly than they cool down, so start with lower temperature settings and gradually increase, as needed.

When ironing fabric blends, select a temperature setting for the fabric component that requires the lowest temperature.

When ironing fabrics that are especially susceptible to heat, first “test the fabric” by ironing in an inconspicuous area of the fabric. Utilize a pressing cloth, as needed.

Be sure to read garment care labels since using improper temperature settings could damage fabrics.
