REDUCING TEMPERATURE
This takes a bit longer, as the iron has to lose the heat it has built up, so be patient. It's best to
organise your ironing so that you don't need to reduce the temperature.

STEAM IRONING

1. When steam ironing, you must set the temperature to ••• (green) or max (red).
2. If you don't, you'll get water on your clothes, not steam.
3. Wait till the temperature light stops flashing, then start ironing.
4. Pull and hold the steam trigger whenever you want steam. Release it to stop.
SPRAY
Water spotting affects some fabrics. Test this out on a hidden part of the fabric. This works with
dry or steam ironing, as long as there's water in the reservoir.
1. Check that there's water in the reservoir.
2. Lift the iron off the fabric.
