HINTS AND TIPS FOR IRONING 1. Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments. 2. Start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature and progress to the higher ones because the iron heats up quicker than it cools down.
5. Fill water through the water-filling inlet hole up to the MAX level mark indicated on the side of the iron/ water tank. Never fill above this mark. Pour the water slowly to prevent an airlock and over filling. 6. Close the water inlet cover and wipe off any spillages on Iron. Note: For the best result, it is advisable to use de-mineralized water or distilled water.
To further prevent leaking water from the soleplate, do not press the burst of steam button continuously for more than three (3) seconds. Allow at least a one (1) minute interval before pressing the burst of steam button again. Stubborn creases should be removed within three (3) burst of steam button presses.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the correct ironing temperature according to the recommendation of the garment label. 4. Wait until the pilot light cycles a few times or wait for at least 3 minutes for the temperature to stabilize before ironing. 5.
