BURST OF STEAM BUTTON
CAUTION: DO NOT aim iron at face,
towards yourself, or anyone else
while using or adjusting steam.
Burns or serious injury may occur.

aid in removing stubborn wrinkles.
The burst of steam feature can be used
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.
1. Make sure the water tank is at least
1/2 filled with water.
2. Select the desired fabric and

IRONING HINTS
WARNING:
To prevent fire, do not
leave iron unattended while
connected.
• Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature
for different types of garments.
• If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test fabric by
ironing a small area such as a seam
or inside hem section before ironing
a visible area. Start with a low
temperature setting and gradually
increase to find the best setting.
• When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the iron
to cool to the new temperature
setting.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
