- 1). Unplug your steam iron. Pour 1/2 cup of tap water into the opening of the water tank. Plug your iron in.
- 2). Turn the temperature dial to the setting you desire for your fabric. If your iron has a separate steam dial, adjust the steam dial to the steam setting you prefer. Wait about two minutes for the iron to reach this temperature.
- 3). Iron by moving the iron evenly back and forth across the piece of clothing or fabric. Steam will release as you move the iron.
- 4). Press the spray button if your steam iron has one to spray cotton or linen fabric containing many wrinkles.
- 5). Turn the temperature control off when you have finished ironing. Unplug the iron, and allow it to cool.
- 6). Empty the water from your iron by tilting the iron over a sink. Always empty the water out after ironing. Use caution when pouring the hot water out to avoid burning yourself.
- 7). Store the iron sitting upright with the cord wrapped loosely around it after it has cooled.
