Sunbeam 4059 Instruction Manual page 9

Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturers ironing instructions.
l
Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
l
Garments requiring low temperature and steam should be ironed first to avoid damaging
l
garments with a too-hot iron.
If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area such as a seam or facing
l
before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase the heat to find
the best setting.
When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow approximately
l
5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
When steam ironing, use long slow glides. This will allow the steam to penetrate the fabric
l
while it allows the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.
To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use a too-hot iron as lining may melt or
l
stick to soleplate.
To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron over the flap
l
Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.
Use the following chart to select the best setting and method for the fabric you plan to iron.
