Before use
Note: The steam facility should only be
used on garments which are suitable for
ironing at the 2, 3 dot settings.
When ironing with the steam facility at
the 2 dot setting, the steam output should
be set at the lower end of the steam range
(see variable steam section).
Textiles and clothes are supposed to
carry ironing instructions. If they don’t you
should follow the fabric guide on page 3,
but be sure to test the temperature by
ironing the hem of the garment or similar
area first.
If you adjust the temperature from a hot
setting to a cooler setting, wait until the iron
temperature has stabilised before you
continue ironing.
It is always a good idea to begin with
cool fabrics and work up to higher settings.
An iron heats up quicker than it cools
down so you’ll save time and electricity.
