• The iron can be filled with ordinary tap water; if your
water is hard, you may want to use 50 percent distilled
water and 50 percent tap water.
• For optimum performance, allow the iron to stand on the
heel rest about two minutes after filling before beginning
to iron.
• If you're unsure of the fabric's content, test a small area
(on the inside seam or hem) before you proceed to iron
the entire garment or cloth.
• Whenever ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, select
the fabric setting for the most delicate fabric. For
example, when ironing a shirt that is 65% cotton and 35%
polyester, use the "blend" setting.
• Whenever temperature settings are changed to a higher
or lower temperature, allow the iron to stand 1–2 minutes
to allow heat up or cool down. Test garment by pressing
a small hidden area to make sure temperature of iron is
correct.
