Suggestions before using the iron for the first time

give off a little smoke when plugged in for the first time. This will cease after a
short while.
2.Before using the iron for the first time , remove the plastic protector from the
base (if it has one) clean the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against
the ironing board, buttons , zips ,etc.)
4. Pure wool fibres (100% wool)can be ironed with the appliance in the steam
position .by preference ,select a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.

2.If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of
fabric in question, use the chart below.

be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
4.If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres ,always select the temperature
applicable ,if an article contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton ,you must always
choose the temperature corresponding to polyester and without steam.

temperatures.
