and set on heel. If
you have the
retractable cord
feature, use the
reel to wind and
store the cord as described in the
“Retractable Cord” section. Never
store iron sitting flat on the soleplate.
This would damage the inside of the
soleplate. Always store iron on its heel
in upright position.

ironing Tips
• Always check the fabric content
before beginning to iron. If the fabric
is a blend, use the lower temperature
setting.
• If the fabric content Is unknown, use
the lowest temperature setting and
test on an inside seam of the garment.
• If ironing several items, start ironing
the items which need the lowest
temperature setting first. An iron heats
up much faster than it cools down.
• To maintain the quality of the
soleplate, never iron over zippers,
pins, buttons or anything metal.
• Use caution when ironing around
plastic buttons and zippers as these
may melt.
• To iron fabrics stating “Dry Clean
Only,” first clean as directed before
ironing. Use caution and begin
ironing on the lowest setting, testing
on an inside seam allowance of
the garment.
