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.
1. 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.
2. When the Green [Ready] Light goes off, the Pressing Plate has reached the correct temperature for the desired setting.
3. 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.

requiring the highest setting and proceed accordingly. This will avoid any unnecessary delays as you wait
for the Pressing Plate to cool.
