IRONING TIPS AND TRICKS
• The iron can be filled with ordinary tap water; if your water is hard, you
may want to use distilled water.
• For optimum performance, allow the iron to stand on the heel rest
about two minutes after filling before beginning to iron.
• If you’re unsure of the fabric’s content, test a small area (on the inside
seam or hem) before you proceed to iron the entire garment or cloth.
• Whenever ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, select the fabric
setting for the most delicate fabric. For example, when ironing a shirt
that is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, use the "blends" setting
(number 2.)
• Whenever temperature settings are changed to a higher or lower
temperature, allow the iron to stand a minute or so to allow heat up or
cool down. Test garment by pressing a small hidden area to make sure
temperature of iron is correct.
