3.
If it is not clear what type of fabric the article is made from, find an area on the garment which is
invisible when the item is worn. Select an ironing temperature that you feel will be suitable and
iron this area first. Always start at a low temperature.
4.
Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. Preferably
set the steam control to maximum and use a dry pressing cloth.
5.
When steam ironing woollen garments, shining of the fabric may occur. This can be prevented by
turning the garment inside out and ironing the reverse side.
6.
Velvet and other textures which rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction only
(with the nap) applying light pressure.
7.
Always keep an iron moving over a garment to prevent burning of the fabric.
8.
Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk to prevent shiny spots.
9.
Do not use the spray function on synthetics and silks in order to prevent water marks forming on
these fabrics.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
1.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and stand the iron on the station.
2.
Turn the temperature control dial to the correct temperature according to the Fabric Type being
ironed (see table under “Selecting the Correct Temperature”).
3.
The pilot light will turn off when the correct temperature has been reached.
4.
The pilot light will switch on and off from time to time indicating that the selected temperature is
being maintained.
STEAM IRONING
1. Fill the iron as described above, plug in and switch on. Always ensure that there is sufficient water in
the tank when steam ironing.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature allowing approximately 2 min for the
iron to reach the set temperature. The indicator light will cycle on and off as the temperature is
maintained. Steam will commence as soon as the set temperature is reached.
3. Push the steam control trigger (refer General Description (2)) for one minute to refill the iron from
the water tank.
NOTE:
Just prior to the water tank becoming completely empty, a burst of steam is usually released
and some minor splattering. This is a normal phenomenon and is related to the electrical pump.
