STEAM IRONING
Be sure there is water in the reservoir. Move the
Lever to the SMART STEAM position. The Smart
Steam™ System automatically adjusts and delivers
the right amount of continuous steam at any tem-
perature setting.
VERTICAL & HORIZONTAL
SURGE OF STEAM
Be sure there is water in the reservoir, the Lever is
in the SMART STEAM position, and the Dial is set
to at least setting 4. To remove tough wrinkles,
pump the SURGE button a few times at 5-second
intervals for a powerful blast of concentrated steam. For best results when
using vertical surge of steam, hang the garment on a clothes hanger. Curtains and
drapes may also be steamed once they’re hung. Hold the iron away from your body
close to but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tight with your free hand and pump
the SURGE button at 5-second intervals as you pass the iron over the wrinkled fabric. (D)
CAUTION:
Do not pump steam onto your free hand. The steam may burn your skin.
