SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS

USING A PRESS CLOTH

Placing a press cloth (a piece of clean fabric) between the fabric and the press-

ing plate may be desirable, especially for more delicate fabrics.

OLDER STYLE BUTTONS AND ZIPPERS

Whilemostmodernbuttonsandzippersrequirenospecialattention,someolder

types may be heat sensitive. Take care with items that could melt. Lower the heat

SPRAY BOTTLE METHOD

Using a Spray Bottle, lightly spray the garment before placing it on the ironing

board. This helps to distribute an even, ﬁne mist over the fabric, preparing it to be

pressed, and removing all wrinkles.

DAMP CLOTH METHOD

Forthemoststubbornorheavygaugefabrics,placeadampclothovertheareato

be pressed. Press the garment normally for a few seconds, then raise the pressing

plate and allow the steam to escape. Repeat the procedure until the fabric is dry.

USE OF THE PRESSING CUSHION

Some garments have been constructed with details, such as darts, curved seams

and shoulder pads, which are not intended to be pressed ﬂat. A pressing cushion

is supplied with your steam press for use with these areas.

a. Use the cushion whenever pressing areas where no creases are desired or to

shape tailored garments.

b. Place the area to be pressed onto the ironing board.

c. Place the pressing cushion under the dart, seam etc.

d. Makesuretheareatobepressedisraisedandlowerthepressingplate.

The raised area is the only area the plate should contact. IMPORTANT NOTE:

Do not attempt to lower the pressing plate to its lowest position or lock the

pressing plate against the ironing board with the pressing cushion in place.

You MAY DAMAGE the steam press by doing so.

e. Raise the Pressing Plate after a few seconds.
