Before Using For The First Time - Westinghouse WST5000ZE Manuel Du Propriétaire

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Carefully unpack your Iron and remove all packaging materials and
any adhesive stickers from the Soleplate. Make sure all adhesive is
removed by rubbing Soleplate with a damp cloth. To remove any dust
that may have accumulated on the Iron during packaging, simply wipe
with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Do not put the
Iron, cord or plug in water.
NOTE: Before you use your Iron for the first time, you should
flush the Soleplate steam vents to ensure that no stain is
transferred onto fabric from residue possibly left in the
vents from the manufacturing process. To do this, see USER
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS - "CLEANING SOLEPLATES
HOLES", p.13
1. For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam
setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
2. To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an Iron, it is best to
first Iron garments that require low temperature. If you should need
to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example
LINEN to NYLON, allow the Iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower
temperature.
TIPS
If you are unsure of a garment's fabric content, start on a low setting
and test the Iron on an area of the garment that does not show, such
as a seam. Gradually increase the heat setting until wrinkles remove
without damaging the fabric. To freshen up garments made of velvet,
felt, suede or velour, hold the steaming Iron horizontally 2 inches above
the fabric for a gentle steaming. Make sure the Iron does not come in
contact with the fabric. To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those
made of silk, acetate or rayon inside out.
CAUTION: To prevent fire, do not leave Iron unattended while
plugged in.
