Vertical Steaming
•The iron may also be used as a hanging clothes steamer by holding the iron in a vertical position. This is especially useful for getting creases out of hanging clothes, curtains, drapenes,
etc.
•For maximum effect, use a sustained Pulse Steam, holding the iron about 4 to 6 inches away from garments being steamed.
•Warning: Never iron clothes while they are being worn.
After Ironing
•When done ironing, turn all controls to the OFF position, and unplug the iron. Do not yank on the cord to remove the plug from the outlet; grasp the plug firmly and pull from the outlet.
•low the iron to cool completely before storing. The iron may be placed onto the Iron Storage Rest while cooling.
•Always empty the Water Tank when done ironing. Do not store the iron with water still in the Water Tank.
•For convenient storage, the cords may be tucked into the Cord Storage Compartment.
Ironing Tips
•Always read garment labels and follow directions.
•To prevent scorching or burning of fabrics, take care to select the proper temperature setting.
•Scorching occurs when the temperature of the iron is too high for the fabric being ironed.
•If you not sure of the temperature required, test a small, unseen area, such as a seam or inside hem, before proceeding to iron the entire garment.
•When in doubt, start with a lower heat. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.
•Blended fabrics are made of two or more fibers. iJways iron blends at the heat setting for the fiber requiring the lowest temperature.
•Wrinkles in cotton, linen or other heavy fabrics may require heat as well as steam for best results. You may want to premoisten certain fabrics before Ironing.
•Some silk fabrics may be able to be steam ironed. Before attempting this, read the garment label carefully, and test the fabric first on a seam or other hidden area.
•To prevent shine on many synthetics or silks, iron on the wrong side.
Cleaning The Iron
•AJways make sure the iron is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning or storing.
•Wipe the Iron and the Iron Storage Rest with a clean, damp cloth. Never immerse the iron, base cord or plug in water, Dfy the unit completely.
•The soleplate of your iron may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleansers, as this may damage the soleplate.
•Under normal use, a small buildup of starch and detergents may collect on the soleplate, reducing the performance of your iron. This can easily be removed by using a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner, available at most stores.
•The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. To prevent scratching the soleplate, do not iron over rough surfaces, such as zippers. Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, such as a metal iron rest, which can scratch the soleplate.
