Basically, all steam irons are handled equally. Still, if it is your first time, you need thorough instructions about how to work with it-
  • The first step is filling the tank. You should follow the manual for it. There are some models where you can separate the tank and fill it. In case of inseparable models, you should make sure that the iron is unplugged and cold. Always maintain the ‘max’ level while filling up the tank. Never overflow it.
  • In case of removable tank, you should make sure that you have clamped the tank well to the iron. Be double sure about it. Now, put the plug in the iron.

  • If your iron has spray function, use it for deep wrinkles if it won’t damage the fabric. Always check the garments label before spraying. If it allows, iron the area after spraying.
