attaching the soleplate to the iron..  
Burns may occur from touching hot  
metal surfaces, hot water or steam.  
BURST OF STEAM  
Sort articles to be ironed according  
to the type of fabric. This will reduce  
the need to adjust the temperature  
for different types of garments.  
1. Lift the soleplate clamp and place  
the iron on the soleplate making sure  
that the heel of the iron is fitted into  
the two retaining tabs on the back of  
the super-size soleplate.  
2. Lower the nose of the iron and close  
the soleplate clamp to secure the  
iron in place. See figure 9.  
WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at face,  
towards yourself, or anyone else  
while using or adjusting steam.  
Burns or serious injury may occur.  
The burst-of-steam button is useful  
when ironing denim, cotton, and linens.  
It provides extra, sudden blasts of  
steam which aid in removing stubborn  
wrinkles.  
Fig. 5  
If you are not sure of the fiber  
content of a garment, test a small  
area such as a seam or inside hem  
section before ironing a visible area.  
Start with a low temperature setting  
and gradually increase to find the  
best setting.  
WATER SPRAY  
The water spray is useful on fabrics with  
stubborn wrinkles. Press the spray  
button and a jet of water will spray onto  
the fabric being ironed. See Figure 6.  
The water spray can be used with dry or  
steam ironing as desired.  
The burst-of-steam feature can be used  
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.  
When reducing the temperature to  
iron sensitive fabrics, allow  
approximately 2 minutes for the iron  
to cool to the new temperature  
setting.  
Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen  
and silk are best ironed with an  
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.  
1. Make sure the water tank is at least  
1/2 filled with water.  
2. Set the temperature dial. Place the  
iron on its heel (on a stable,  
protected surface) and allow it to  
heat for approximately 2 minutes.
