- With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
- Press the Shot of Steam® button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the iron across the wrinkled area.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area
being steamed.
WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in
injuries.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
- Check the ironing instructions on the label of the items that you wish to iron. Check the temperature setting table for further instructions.
- Should the specific toning instructions not appear on the label, follow the instructions on the temperature setting table. This table is only for fabrics indicated and does not apply to special textiles with a gloss finish, etc. Textiles with special coatings (such as gloss, relief wrinkles, etc.) are best ironed at very low temperatures. If the textile consists of several different types of fibers, always select the lowest temperature, i.e the temperature recommended for the most delicate fiber in the composition (for example, if the composition consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should iron at the temperature indicated for polyester).
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
- Set the iron in on upright position.
- Connect the Iron to an electrical wall socket.
- Set the Temperature Control dial (Figure 4) to the correct ironing temperature as indicated on the label or the temperature settings table.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS TABLE
ANTI-CALC
- The Anti Calc feature helps prevent the build up of mineral deposits in your iron. This prolongs its life and improves the iron’s performance.
AUTO-OFF
- Auto-Off Feature when the iron is plugged in, the ON/OFF indicator light will be red, indicating that there is power to the iron. If you leave the iron:
- in a horizontal position without moving it, or accidentally tipping the iron over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. The wait/ready light will blink red to let you know that the iron has stopped heating.
- in a vertical position (on its heel rest) without moving it, the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. The wait/ready light will blink red to let you know that the iron has stopped heating.
- IMPORTANT: The wait/ready light will continue to blink red until the iron is unplugged or reset. To reset the iron: Move the iron back and forth to reset. The wait/ready light will change from blinking red to solid red and the iron will start heating again.
- WARNING: Auto-Off is a safety feature, not a recommended means for turning your iron off. See “STORING THE IRON” for information on turning off your iron and storing it safely between use.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
