Ironing
Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.
This stops after a short while.
1 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see section 'Setting the
temperature' above).
 Specific types only: Let the iron heat up for two minutes.
If you set the temperature dial to a lower setting after ironing at a high
temperature, let the iron cool down for five minutes before you continue
ironing.
 Specific types only: let the iron heat up until the temperature light
first goes out and then goes on again (Fig. 2).
Note: The temperature light goes on from time to time during ironing.
