SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

To avoid damage to clothes from dust or dirt that may collect in the iron, we recommend that for the first use or after the iron has been stored for some time that you first iron an old cloth, testing both the steam and burst of steam feature.

Set the temperature control dial according to the type of fabric you are ironing. Check the fabric’s label for appropiate setting.
