4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe ironing.
Image 4.1: The Singer TRIO Dry Iron is designed for fast heat-up with 1000 Watts, ensuring uniform heating for various fabrics.
- Sort Laundry: Separate clothes according to fabric type (e.g., cotton, linen, silk, synthetics). Always check the garment's care label for ironing instructions.
- Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for the fabric you intend to iron. Start with lower temperatures for delicate fabrics and gradually increase for heavier fabrics.
- Heat Up: Plug the iron into the power outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the iron is heating. The light will turn off once the desired temperature is reached, and cycle on and off during ironing to maintain the temperature.
- Ironing: Begin ironing the garments. For best results, iron fabrics that require lower temperatures first.
- Finishing: When finished, turn the temperature dial to the 'Min' or 'Off' position and unplug the iron from the power outlet.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your iron.
- Cleaning the Soleplate: After the iron has cooled completely, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use harsh scouring pads or metallic cleaners as they can damage the non-stick coating.
- Cleaning the Body: Wipe the exterior of the iron with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the iron upright on its heel rest in a cool, dry place. Ensure the cord is neatly wrapped around the cord wrap area (if available) or loosely coiled. Do not store the iron with the soleplate facing down while it is still warm.
6. Troubleshooting
