towel. When the water tank is empty and there is no more steam that can be produced;
the preparation work is completed. The iron is now ready for proper use.
Note: It is normal for small amount of smoke to be produced the first time you use the
iron, this will quickly disappear. When using the steam function for the first time, do not
direct the steam towards the laundry, as there could be debris from the steam vents.
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.
3. "Test iron" a small area on the backside or inside of the garment if you are unsure
about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
4. Wait for about three (3) minutes before ironing heat sensitive fabrics. 'Temperature
adjustment' will need a certain time to reach the required level no matter if it is
higher or lower.
5. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing cloth
to prevent shine marks.
6. You may need to press the steam button a few times to activate the burst of steam
function.
7. Always keep the soleplate smooth – avoid contact with sharp, hard, metal objects.
