HEATING THE IRON
1.
After setting the temperature, allow
the iron to preheat on the cradle. The
iron will be ready for use once the
ready light illuminates, approximately
1 - 2 minutes.
• If the temperature setting is changed
from high to low during iron operation,
the ready light will turn off and the
temperature indicator light will begin
flashing. The iron will be ready for use
once the ready light again illuminates
and the temperature indicator light
stops flashing.
•
When the iron is removed from the
cradle, the temperature indicator
light will turn off.
Example:
When “linen/cotton” has
been selected
2.
Be sure that the iron is always placed
back on the cradle whenever you take
a break from ironing or when you
adjust clothes on the ironing board.
• The ready light will begin to flash
whenever the temperature of the iron
starts to decrease. If the temperature
continues to decrease, the light will
eventually turn off. When this occurs,
place the iron back on the cradle for
reheating.
• The iron will be ready to use once the
ready light illuminates.
•
The most efficient ironing
performance will be obtained when
the iron is reheated briefly each
time the iron is placed on the cradle
while adjusting a garment during
normal ironing.
• When returning the iron to its cradle,
never place it in a sideways or
backwards position. The contact points
will become deformed and the iron will
not be able to heat properly.
• Steam may occasionally continue to
discharge for a short time after the iron
has been placed back on the cradle.
This is normal.
Place
correctly
Cuff Press
When used as a “dry” iron, the removal of
the water tank allows the iron to be used for
pressing hard to reach
areas such as sleeves,
cuffs and childrens clothes.
