b) The benefits of the suction and blown-air functions include

BLOWN-AIR FUNCTION:

When you switch the control button to the blown-air position, the blower system is activated, creating an air cushion between the board and fabric. The blown-air function is recommended for:

- Ironing delicate fabrics (e.g. silk or wool);

- Preventing accidental creases on large and medium-sized items (e.g. tablecloths, sheets or jacket backs);

- Avoiding "buffing" fabrics, and preventing lines and seam marks.

SUCTION FUNCTION:

When you switch the control button to the suction position, the suction system is activated, creating a downward airflow. The suction function is recommended for:

- Holding items in place on the ironing surface; - Clearly marking creases (e.g. trouser creases); - Ironing thick fabrics (e.g. denim and linen);

- Eliminating any residual moisture;

-Preventing steam from escaping while you are ironing.
