IRONING HINTS
WARNING!
To prevent fire, do not
leave iron unattended while
connected.
•
Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature
for different types of garments.
• If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test a small
area such as a seam or inside hem
section before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature setting
and gradually increase to find the
best setting.
• When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the iron
to cool to the new temperature
setting.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.

ATOMIZER SPRAY NOZZLE 4. Place the iron on its heel on a stable,
protected surface and allow the iron
to heat for approximately two (2)
minutes or until the temperature
settings on the right side of the LED
display panel have stopped flashing.
5. Turn the variable steam control dial
to the right to increase the amount of
steam. When using extra steam, the
iron uses more water and it may be
necessary to fill the water tank more
often. (Fig. 2)
The atomizer spray nozzle is useful on
fabrics with stubborn wrinkles. Press the
spray button and a jet of water will spray
onto the fabric being ironed. (Fig. 5) The
water spray can be used with dry or
steam ironing as desired.
