6. PS A USE STEAM INTERMITTENTLY Your Steam Generator Iron features a professional type iron with steam holes placed in the front of the iron soleplate Correct ironing procedure involves steaming the fabric with the front end of the iron followed by pressing and drying with heat from the rear of the iron For best results garments should be dry after pressing to avoid re wrinkling due to lingering dampness Therefore we recommend that you use steam as required but not continuously B PRESSING DIFFICULT NATURAL FIBERS I E 100 COTTON DRESS SHIRTS ETC While your Steam Generator offers high quality professional type steam some fabrics may require additional moisture for best results You may want to press cotton shirts while still damp or spray with demineralized distilled water prior to ironing 7 C DRY STEAM V S HUMID STEAM Because steam is produced in a generator and not in the iron as with regular household irons you can select dry or humid steam The temperature of the iron setting determines the type of steam At high temperatures the iron delivers very dry steam Lower temperature settings within steam range offer humid steam D USER BENEFITS For best pressing results you have the flexibility to choose the type of steam and not only the iron temperature A balance should be maintained between the humidity low iron temperature required to loosen fibers and the need for heat higher iron temperature to flatten
