How to use an electric iron

Clothes often have wrinkles, which greatly affects their appearance. Clothes maintenance is very important. If you want to attend an important party, but your clothes affect your appearance, you will definitely not be in a good mood, and you may even be accused of being disrespectful to others. At this time, you need to use an electric iron, which can iron clothes very well. Electric irons rely on water steam to iron clothes, so be careful of being burned by water steam.

How to use an electric iron

1. In fact, everyone should know that there are many kinds of electric irons. Here we mainly introduce how to use steam irons. When using a steam iron, pour the water in the cup into the water inlet of the iron. Then close the cap on the water inlet. Turn the steam knob to the 0 position. Then place the clothes to be ironed on a flat, slightly hard surface. Then turn the switch knob to the "silk" position.

2. Turn on the iron. Poke it up vertically. The power indicator light comes on, indicating that heating has started. Iron the garment directly. If the effect is not good, you can press the "spray button" to spray some water from the "spray nozzle". Helps eliminate stubborn wrinkles. Or you can use the "powerful steam button" to reach the 0 level to remove wrinkles that cannot be eliminated directly.

3. Turn the "steam knob" to the second gear. Using a gear stronger than 0 can also achieve better results. Take a look at the effect. Are the clothes smoother? The same experiment was conducted using a pair of cotton pants. Lay your pants flat on a hard surface.

4. Then refer to the previous method. Iron in one direction. It seems to be very effective. After using the iron. Unplug the power source. Pour out the water from the "water outlet". Open the "water stop" cover. Hang it up vertically to dry until the iron returns to normal temperature.

Precautions for using electric iron

1. Unplug the power plug after using the electric iron. During the power-on process, someone must be present and must not leave without permission. After the temperature of the soleplate drops to room temperature, wind the wires (not too tightly) and store the iron in a dry place.

2. Before using an automatic temperature-control iron, the knob should be adjusted to the appropriate position according to the performance of the clothes being ironed. After use, reset the temperature control knob to the "off" or "cold" position in time.

3. The voltage on the nameplate of the electric iron should match the power supply voltage used. Electric irons with grounding (neutral wire) must use a three-core power cord, one of which (usually black or yellow and green two-color wire) is grounded (neutral wire). Do not connect it incorrectly. Otherwise, the live wire may be introduced into the casing and cause electric shock.

4. Never place the iron on flammable objects to avoid causing a fire. When you need to open the door, answer the phone, or deal with a crying child, you must cut off the power supply and do not just drop the iron and run away. Keep hot irons out of the reach of children.
