IRONING TIPS
❏
Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
❏ Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
❏
You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics) to avoid
damaging them with an iron that is too hot.
❏
If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam or
facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase the
heat to find the best setting.
❏
When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow approximately
5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
❏
When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the steam to
penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.
❏
To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot because the
lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.
❏
To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron over the flap.
Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.
❏
Use the Ironing Guide on Page 10 to select the best setting and method for the fabric you plan
to iron.
CARING FOR YOUR IRON AFTER USE
TURNING OFF YOUR IRON
1 Turn the small Steam dial to Dry/O and the large Fabric/Temperature dial to Off/O.
2. Unplug the iron from the power source.
WARNING:
NEVER yank the power cord when unplugging the iron, this can damage the cord.
STORING YOUR IRON
1. Allow the iron to cool.
2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water reservoir after each use for a
longer iron life. To do so, turn the iron upside down to allow water to flow from the fill hole.
Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops. Close the water reservoir cover.
3. Loosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.
IMPORTANT: Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.
TIP: When not ironing, always set the small Steam dial to Dry/O and the large Fabric/Temperature
dial to Off/O.
MAINTAINING YOUR IRON
CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE
Clean the soleplate if starch or other residue accumulate.
To clean the Soleplate:
1. Allow the iron to cool and then wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
WARNING: DO NOT use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or vinegar to clean the soleplate.
This will damage the finish.
2. Run the iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.
