reducing temperature
18This takes a bit longer, as the iron has to lose the heat it has built up, so be patient. It’s best to organise your ironing so that you don’t need to reduce the temperature.
steam ironing
19When steam ironing, you must set the temperature control at Sor higher.
20 If you don’t, you’ll get water on your clothes, not steam.
21 Move the steam control to the setting you want, S = no steam, ~= high steam (#3). 22 Wait till the thermostat light goes out, then start ironing.
