Dry Ironing - GE 898693 Manual

• Begin ironing with the garments requiring lower temperature settings. Doing this
shortens the waiting time (the iron heats up faster than it cools) and reduces the
risk of scorching garments.
• If the garment consists of a mixture of fibers, set the iron according to the fiber that
requires the lowest temperature.
• If uncertain about the fiber content of a garment, testing on a minor area of it
before ironing is recommended. In doing this, start with a low temperature. If
wrinkles persist, gradually increase the temperature to find the best setting for
the garment.
• To prevent the garments from being stained or damaged, it is best to iron them on
the reverse side.
• When the temperature has been selected, allow 2 minutes for the iron to reach
maximum temperature.
