SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
1. Place the iron on the cradle.
2. Press the steam button down.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to
the proper temperature, according to
the Fabric Guide (shown below).
• Irons heat up more quickly than they
cool down, so start with lower
temperature settings and gradually
increase, as needed.
• When ironing fabric blends, select a
temperature setting for the fabric
component that requires the lowest
temperature.
• When ironing fabrics that are
especially susceptible to heat, first
“test the fabric” by ironing in an
inconspicuous area of the fabric.
Utilize a pressing cloth, as needed.
• Be sure to read garment care labels
since using improper temperature
settings could damage fabrics.
