3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.The temperature
light goes on to indicate that the iron is heating up.
The iron is hot enough when the temperature light goes out.
During ironing the temperature light goes on from time to time.
This indicates that the iron is heating up to the right temperature.
If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently
set the temperature dial to a lower setting, wait until the
temperature light goes on again before you continue ironing.This
will prevent damage to your fabrics.
Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased.This may cause
the iron to give off some smoke when you switch it on for the
first time.After a short while, however, this will cease.
