• The iron is designed to use ordinary tap water. A mix of 50% tap water
with 50% distilled water can be used In areas with very hard water to
reduce hard water build-up.
• If water dripping occurs, the iron isn't hot enough to generate steam.
Allow the iron a minute to reheat and then resume ironing. Use the Dry
Iron steam setting when ironing at low temperatures.
• Allow the iron to stand from one to two minutes when changing the
temperature setting, whether to a higher or lower setting. This allows
time for heat up or cool down. Test garment by pressing a small hidden
area to make sure temperature of iron is correct.
• To prevent iron marks on fabric, iron the fabric inside out.
• For optimum performance, allow the iron to stand on the heel rest for
about two minutes after filling, prior to ironing.
• When unsure of fabric content, first test a small area (on the inside
seam or hem) before ironing entire garment or cloth.
• Whenever ironing a garment made with a mix of fabrics, select the
fabric setting based on the most delicate fabric.
• Whenever ironing fabric made of blended content, such as a shirt that
is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, use the "blends" setting (setting
number 2).
• Putting on clothes immediately after ironing can actually create
wrinkles. Always allow clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after
ironing to set the press.
