Selecting the temperature
1. Refine modes ironing for clothes that you are going to iron.
2. Fabrics having any finish (applications, folds, etc.) can be ironed at the lowest temperature.
3. If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres, select the temperature for the tissue in which the canvas of the
greatest content. For example: if the fabric contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should select the
temperature corresponding to polyester and to iron without steam.
4. First, you must determine the type of fabric for ironing. Since the sole is heated sufficiently quickly, so
begins to stroke better fabrics requiring a lower ironing temperature, such as woven fabrics of synthetic
fibers. Then, in the process of ironing gradually move to tissues that require a higher temperature ironing.
5. Turn the temperature regulator by comparing its value with a dash in front of it:
· position for nylon and rayon
·· position for wool, silk and mixed fabrics
··· position for cotton or linen (steaming)
Filling the water tank
1. Unplug the iron.
