steam button while

auto shut-off has activated. To reset your
iron and continue ironing follow these
steps. See figure 9.
1) Lift the iron.
2) Holding the iron horizontally in front of

•
Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature
for different types of garments.
•
If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test a small
area such as a seam or inside hem
section before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature setting
and gradually increase to find the
best setting.
•
When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the iron
to cool to the new temperature
setting.
•
Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
NOTE:
Before starting to iron delicate
fabrics, it is best to first test the
temperature of the iron on a hem or
an inside seam.
