wool, you may choose to spray with a burst of
steam. This function is available once Steam

mately 75 mm above Ironing Board before pressing Steam Burst Button. For
safety reasons, do not hold Pressing Plate open more than 75 mm when using
steam burst function.
5. To press, lower Pressing Plate gently onto fabric and Ironing Board. Hold there
for 8-10 seconds, then lift up Pressing Plate. Repeat until you have achieved
desired crease and smoothness.
6. Once pressing tasks are complete, immediately set On/Off Switch to “Off”
position. Refer to page 9 of this manual for further information about cleaning
and storage of Digital Fabric Steam Press.

prevent damage to delicate areas.
Other Techniques

delicate fabrics.
- Buttons and zippers. If you have older types of buttons or zippers, you may need
to take special care to avoid melting. In order to do so, place garment face-down
and cover with Pressing Cushion before pressing.
- Spray Bottle may be used to spray fabrics lightly. This will further help to remove
exceptionally stubborn wrinkles.
- Place a damp cloth over fabric before pressing, which will help with stubborn
wrinkles or heavy gauge fabrics.
- To press large pieces of fabric, place entire piece behind Ironing Board. Pull
fabric towards you, over Ironing Board, and lower Pressing Plate. Press fabric in
sections until completed.

CARE AND STORAGE GUIDELINES
AUTO SHUT-OFF
The Auto Shut-Off feature of the Digital Fabric Steam Press includes both an
Auto Shut-Off and an Auto Wake-Up. These multiple function safety features
deactivate electrical power to the heater when the Pressing Plate has been left in
closed position against the Ironing Board for more than 10 seconds. Heater
deactivation is signaled by a beeping sound. Heater functionality is restored
when the Pressing Plate is lifted back up.
Power to the heater will also be cut if the Pressing Plate is left in the lifted
position without use for approximately 15 minutes (signaled by a beeping sound
for approximately 22 seconds). After the beeping sound has stopped, the heating
ability of the unit can only be restored in by pressing the Temperature Control
Buttons.
IMPORTANT: Auto Shut-Off does not mean that power to the unit is
totally cut off. Power is always on, and the Power Indicator Light will
remain illuminated until On/Off Switch is set to “Off” position.
CLEANING THE DIGITAL FABRIC STEAM PRESS
1. Place Pressing Cushion in the middle of Ironing Board.
2. Place a clean towel over Pressing Cushion and Ironing Board.
