Tips & Warnings
Turn the temperature control dial until it points to the kind of fabric you wish to press. If you cannot determine the type of fabric, begin with the lowest setting and increase the temperature gradually, otherwise you may burn the fabric.
Never leave your activated New Yorker steam press unattended, and switch off the appliance once you are done.
