BEFORE USE
MPlease read all of the instructions for use and the Important Safeguards carefully.
MRemove all packaging from the generator.
MIt is normal for a small amount of smoke and a light odor to be produced the first time it is used. This will quickly disappear.
HELPFUL HINTS
MBefore using the generator for the first time or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam button several times in a row while holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam connection cord.
MWhen ironing start with fabrics that require a low temperature setting (●) and finish with those which need the highest temperature (● ● ●).
MMixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature for the most delicate fabric. For example a shirt that is 60% cotton and 40% polyester should be ironed at the (●) setting for synthetics.
MIf spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing.
MFor best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow excess steam to escape.
MFor delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.
