IRONING WITH STEAM
BURST OF STEAM & VERTICAL STEAM
Please note: Before using the iron for the first time, it is important to
purge the inside of the iron by allowing it to steam freely for
a minute. This allows the removal of any impurities left by
the manufacturing process.
WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while
using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur.
The burst-of-steam button is useful when ironing denim, cotton and linens. It
provides extra, sudden blasts of steam which aid in removing stubborn
wrinkles.
The burst-of-steam & vertical steam feature can be used with Dry or Steam
ironing as desired.
