The " power shot " feature provides extra steam which goes
deep into the garment and is helpful for removing stubborn
wrinkles. It is necessary to clean the inside of the iron before
using the "power shot" feature, if you have not used the
“power shot” feature for a prolonged period. Simply test the
“power shot” feature several times away from the ironing
board and clothes to be ironed. This will prevent brown
spotting or water spotting on the clothes.
Set the steam/dry selector to the dry position.
Set the temperature selector to the " MAX " position.
Using the “power shot”
• Pump the power shot button several times at the beginning of
each ironing session.
•
Press the power shot button in intervals of at least 2 seconds
between use to prevent water spotting.
• If the power shot weakens, wait until the thermostat
operating Indicator light goes on, and then off.
• Use a press cloth if necessary.
To get better results
when using vertical
steam, hang the
garment on a hanger.
Curtains and drapes
may also be steamed
once they are hung.
Hold the iron away from
your body, close to but
not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tightly and pump
the power shot button at 2 seconds intervals as you press
the iron over the wrinkled fabric.
• If the power shot weakens, wait until the thermostat
operating indicator light goes on, and then off.
The spray feature is particularly helpful for removing stubborn
wrinkles and where extra dampen is needed.
The spray may be used with steam or dry ironing.
Simply push the spray mist button
whenever spray is desired.
• If the spray does not work
immediately, keep triggering
until it does.
