Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If excessive, either
the steamer needs time to get back up to full temperature or there
could be a build-up of condensation on the ironing plate. Just allow the
steamer a minute to reheat, or gently wipe the ironing plate against the
ironing pad fabric to remove condensation.
To prevent iron marks on fabric, turn garment inside out before using
the ironing plate. Sensitive items (such as items with embellishments)
should be steamed inside out as well to avoid damage.
Putting on a garment immediately after ironing or steaming can actually
create wrinkles. Always allow clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after
ironing or steaming to set the press.
