HOW TO USE'JET-OF-STEAM"FEATURE
The"Jet-of-Steam"feature provides extra steam which goes deep into the garment and
is helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles. The"Jet-of-Steam" feature operates properly
only in the " <g$i " indication area of the Temperature Selector Dial when steam or dry
ironing( If used at lower setting, water spotting will occur because the iron is not hot
enough to change water to steam ). If you have not used the " Jet-of-Steam " feature
for a long time, it is necessary to clean the inside of the iron before using this feature
on any clothes to be ironed. Simply test the " Jet-of-Steam " feature several times
away from the ironing board and clothes to be ironed. This will prevent brown spotting
or water spotting on the clothes.
