For synthetic fabrics, a distance of 4 inches is recommended to avoid damage to the garment. For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam). To avoid burns and scalding never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn. Fill iron according to the "Filling the boiler" section of instructions. Press on/off switch (B), the iron light and steam indicator light will turn on. When the steam indicator light turns off (approximately 11 minutes), steam is ready. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric from the bottom of the garment slightly taut with one hand. Holding the iron in a vertical position, press continuously on the steam button while moving the iron from the top of the garment to the bottom (C).
