PRESSING
•
Make sure the locking knob (2) is in the open position (UNLOCK).
•
Lift the handle (1). The pressing plate (4) moves to the up position.
•
Carefully arrange the garment to be pressed onto the ironing
board (5).
•
Grasp the handle of the pressing plate(4) and lower it onto the
ironing board (5), capturing the garment between the two halves
of the steam press.
•
For lightly creased garments, simply lowering the handle and
allowing the pressing plate to rest on the ironing board will be
sufficient. Return to the open position. For very creased garments,
continue to grasp the handle and press downward until the
pressing plate is pushed to its lowest position, then open the press.
•
If the temperature is set high enough you may give the fabric a
burst of steam by pressing the burst of steam button (3) to
remove stubborn wrinkles. Lower the pressing plate until it is about
two inches from the garment. Press the burst of steam button for
about 3-5 seconds. After releasing the burst of steam button you
may fully lower the pressing plate.
NOTE: Do not press the burst of steam button when the pressing
plate is in its lowest (closed) position.
•
After a few seconds, lift the handle and raise the pressing plate
back to the raised position.
USING THE SPRAY BOTTLE
Lightly spray the garment before placing it on the ironing board. This
helps to distribute an even, fine mist over the fabric, preparing it to
be pressed, and removing all wrinkles.
USING THE PRESSING CUSHION
Some garments have been constructed with details, such as darts,
curved seams and shoulder pads, which are not intended to be
pressed flat. A pressing cushion is supplied with your steam press for
use with these areas.
•
Use the cushion whenever pressing areas where no creases are
desired or to shape tailored garments.
•
Place the area to be pressed onto the ironing board.
