GETTING TO KNOW YOUR LIGHTWEIGHT IRON
PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1.
Remove any adhesive stickers that may be attached to the soleplate.
Any residual adhesives can be removed by rubbing gently with a soft,
water-dampened cloth.
2.
New irons commonly release some light smoke or vapors when used for
the first few times. This light smoke is due to the initial heating of the materials
used in the manufacturing of the product. The release of this light smoke
is normal and does not indicate a fault in the product.
3.
Residual moisture may also be present in the water tank. This is normal.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Always check garment labels for garment symbols suggesting that a fabric
should or should not be ironed. Always follow the temperature and steam
settings recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
2.
Turn the steam control dial to the desired position. See Dry Pressing and Steam
Pressing sections following for detailed operating instructions.
3.
Turn the temperature control/fabric selector dial to the desired
temperature/fabric setting: high temperature for cotton-linen, medium
temperature for wool, and low temperature for rayon, silk and acrylics.
(See Figure 3a.)
4.
To prevent damage to garments from the use of too hot an Iron, it is best
to first iron garments that require low temperature. If you should need to adjust
from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example 3 (•••) to 1 (•),
allow the Iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower temperature.
