STORAGE
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to “0” after you have emptied
the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
NOTE: The anti drip function reduces
water dripping and water stains. It does
not prevent water dripping and water
stains if you press the steam burst
button too often or if the temperature is
too low. The amount of water droplets
will eventually decrease after the iron is
used for 2 to 3 tankfuls of steaming and
ironing.
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 fabric by
ironing 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.
