•
This iron is designed to use normal tap water. If your water is very
hard, you can use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water
to avoid build-up. It is not recommended to use water with perfumes
or scented additives.
•
Since it takes an iron longer to cool down than heat up, organizing
your clothing from Low to High temperature can cut down your
ironing time.
•
Whenever temperature settings are changed, allow the iron to stand
a minute or two to allow heat up or cool down. Test garment by
pressing a small hidden area to make sure temperature of iron is
correct.
•
Whenever ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, read the garment's
tag for detailed directions or select the fabric setting for the most
delicate fabric. For example, when ironing a shirt that is 65% cotton
and 35% polyester, use the polyester setting.
•
If you're unsure of the fabric's content, test a small area (on the inside
seam or hem) before you proceed to iron the entire garment or cloth.
•
If water dripping occurs, this means that the soleplate isn't hot
enough to create steam. Just allow the iron a minute to reheat and
then resume ironing.
•
To prevent iron marks on your fabric, iron the fabric inside out.
•
Putting on your clothes right after ironing can actually create wrinkles.
Always allow your clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after ironing to
set the press.
