BEFORE FIRST USE
1.Remove all packaging materials from the Soleplate and the body of the Iron. Unwind and straighten the power cord.
2.Flush the soleplate steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred onto the fabric from residue possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. (See USER MAINTE-
NANCE INSTRUCTIONS.)
NOTE: When the Iron is used for the first time, you may notice a slight amount of smoke; this is normal and will stop after a few minutes as the Iron continues to heat.
~ Ironing Tips ~
•For best results, check garment labels for the tempera- ture and steam setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
•Always iron garments that require a low temperature first. This will prevent damage to garments by using an iron that is too hot.
•If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low setting and test the iron on an area of the gar- ment that does not show, such as a seam. Gradually increase the heat setting until wrinkles remove without damaging the fabric.
•To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the steaming iron horizontally 2 inches (5cm) above the fabric for a gentle steaming. Make sure the iron does not come in contact with the fabric.
•To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate or rayon inside out.
