STEP 4 SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

Press the *SELECT* arrow buttons to choose the kind of fabric you wish to press. Press to move selection to higher setting and

press to move selection to lower setting.

a. Examine the garment label if unsure and look up the type on the chart.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you can not determine the type of fabric, begin with the lowest setting and increase the temperature as

desired until you obtain the proper results.

b. When the Green Ready Light goes off, the Pressing Plate has reached the temperature for the desired setting.

c. When changing the setting from a higher selection to a lower setting allow several minutes for the Pressing Plate to cool

sufficiently after making the change.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You may find it more efficient to arrange your fabrics from those requiring the lowest setting to those

requiring the highest setting and proceed accordingly. This will avoid any unnecessary delay or wait for

the Pressing Plate to cool.

press downward until the Pressing Plate is pushed to its lowest position,

then open the press.

steam by pressing the Steam Burst Button (D) to remove stubborn wrinkles.

Steam Burst Button you may fully lower the pressing plate.

NOTE: Do not press the Steam Burst Button when the pressure plate is

in its lowest (closed) position.

raised position.
