Vertical Steam

The Blast of Steam Button can be used in the vertical position to remove wrinkles from clothes while on the hanger, and to freshen the appearance of hanging curtains or drapes.

1.When steaming drapes or curtains on the rods, make sure there is adequate ventilation behind the fabric to prevent moisture build-up and mildew. Always make sure there is nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam. Before steaming clothes, check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.

2.Make sure that the Temperature Control Dial is set to the “max” (RED) setting before releasing vertical blasts of steam. For maximum results, keep the Water Tank at least half full.

CAUTION: IF THE IRON IS HOT, DO NOT FILL WITH WATER.

3.Hold the Iron upright so that the Soleplate is 7-15 inches

(18-38 cm) away from the garment or material. Press the Blast of Steam Button once, then release (see FIGURE 8). It may be necessary to press the Blast of Steam Button 2-3 times successively to release the initial burst. DO NOT HOLD THE BLAST OF STEAM BUTTON DOWN.

CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH ESCAPING STEAM.

4.As the Blast of Steam Button is pressed and steam is released, the temperature of the Iron drops; thus the Water Tank color may cycle down momentarily. Allow at least 4 seconds between blasts of steam to allow the Iron to regain heat.

NOTE: The red Thermostat Light will continue to cycle off and on during use as the Iron maintains the desired temperature.
