Using Your Iron
Note: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the soleplate
steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric from residue
possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. To do this, see
FLUSHING.
For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam
setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or consult the
enclosed garment care tips pamphlet for additional information.
To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to
first iron garments that require low temperature. If you should need
to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example
Linen to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower
temperature.
Tips: If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low
setting and test the iron on an area of the garment that does not
show, such as a seam. Gradually increase the heat setting until
wrinkles remove without damaging the fabric.
To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the
steaming iron horizontally 2 inches above the fabric for a gentle
steaming. Make sure the iron does not come in contact with the fabric.
To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate
or rayon inside out.
