1. The Burst of Steam function can only be used at temperatures settings
between ••• or MAX and the indicator light has gone out.
2. Lift the Iron slightly above the surface of the fabric and press the Burst
of Steam button down firmly. An intense burst of steam penetrates deep
into the fabrics. Release the Burst of Steam button then continue to iron.
NOTE:
If the Burst of Steam button is used several times in close succession,
the soleplate temperature will be reduced. The Temperature Indicator Light
will illuminate to show that the iron is heating up to the desired temperature
and will extinguish once the iron is back up to temperature.
Vertical Steaming
The Burst of Steam Button allows you to use the iron for vertical ironing.
This is especially useful for getting wrinkles out of hanging clothes, curtains,
wall hangings, etc.
NOTE:
Vertical Steaming can only be used in the •••
or MAX setting.
1. Follow the directions in the ‘Filling the Iron with Water’ section.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting and wait until the
temperature has been reached and the Temperature Indicator Light goes out.
3. Hang the garment in a location that will not be damaged
from heat or moisture. Hold the fabric taut.
4. Press the Burst of Steam Button. Keep the iron a few
inches away from the garment and move it up and down
the garment (Ill. 6). Creases will be removed and the fabric
will be freshened.
NOTE:
Do not allow the soleplate to touch delicate fabrics.
5. Allow the fabric to cool and air thoroughly before storing away.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Sort the items to be ironed according to the fabric type. Iron fabrics requiring
the coolest temperatures first. Work gradually to higher temperatures.
Both the temperature display and most items of laundry have markings
corresponding with the following chart. (See chart on page 5)
NOTE:
If you
cannot determine what type of fabric an item is made of, test the item
by ironing a small section on an inside seam.
