How to Steam Press Clothes

Wrinkles--whether they’re on your face or on your clothes, they are not your friend. Dealing with wrinkles on clothes, however, is much easier than those on your face. Use the Hamilton Beach Professional Iron on a steam setting and you’ll be rid of wrinkles in no time.

Things You'll Need

• Hamilton Beach Professional Iron
• Water
• Measuring cup
• Garment to be pressed
• Ironing board

Instructions

1. Unplug the iron. Set the steam control on top of the iron to O (Dry Iron). Hold the iron so that the sole plate is parallel to the ground, counter top or ironing board.

2. Open the water fill cover. Fill the measuring cup with tap water, and then slowly pour it into the water tank opening until the MAX fill line is reached. Close the water fill cover.

3. Plug the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn the temperature control guide on the body of the iron to the desired fabric setting within the steam range. Allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes in order to reach the appropriate temperature. Set the Steam On/Off control to the steam sign. It looks like a small cloud.

4. Spread the garment to be ironed onto the ironing board. Before placing the hot iron on the garment, test an inconspicuous spot, like on the inside of the garment. This will let you know whether the iron is the correct temperature for this fabric and help prevent scorching. If the temperature is correct, then proceed to iron the garment. Press and release the Blast button on top of the handle when you need a burst of steam to iron stubborn wrinkles.

5. Turn the iron off when you are finished ironing by setting the Steam On/Off control to O (Dry Iron). Turn the temperature control dial to Off. Unplug the iron. Empty the water from the iron.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not fill the iron directly from the faucet.

• Always be careful when handling a hot iron.
