How to use a steam iron

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Only when you wear clean and tidy clothes can you confidently enter and leave various occasions no matter what kind of event you attend. In this case, a steam iron is an indispensable helper. Once you have a steam iron, you don’t have to worry about wrinkles on your clothes. You no longer have to worry about being laughed at by friends and classmates when you go to work or school wearing wrinkled clothes.

Human wisdom is great and magical, just like when you lack something, humans can immediately invent something to help you. So these things gradually fill everyone's lives and make people's lives more convenient and faster. But some people still ask how to use a steam iron? The correct way to use a steam iron is as follows:

1. The yellow-green two-color wire in the power core of the steam iron should be grounded first. This is to prevent the danger caused by leakage.

2. It is best to add boiling water to the steam iron. Lift the front end so that the water inlet is facing upwards, and use a measuring cup to slowly pour the boiled water into the water inlet. The volume of the iron's water reservoir determines how much water to add.

3. For electric irons equipped with water level glass, you can stand the iron upright, observe the water level in the water tank, and add water as needed.

4. The fabric name marking on the fabric indicator plate of the steam iron is basically the same as that of the temperature-controlled iron. The only difference is the addition of a "steam" mark.

5. Connect the electric iron to the power source, turn the temperature control knob to the position between "wool" and "linen", and the indicator light should light up. When the indicator light goes out, the iron soleplate temperature has reached the required value. If water has been added to the iron, steam should be emitted and ironing can be performed.

6. Steam irons can be used for dry ironing of fabrics, but you need to determine the type of fabric to be ironed, adjust the temperature control knob, and finally select the appropriate soleplate temperature. After ironing, adjust the steam knob to the "0" position.

7. After use, the remaining water in the water tank should be poured out from the water inlet. When pouring, the front end of the iron should be facing downward, and the iron should be shaken at the same time, and the water can be poured out. Then adjust the temperature knob to the highest temperature and turn on the power for a few minutes to allow all the internal moisture to evaporate. Then cut off the power supply, turn the temperature control knob back to the lowest temperature, and store it after it cools down naturally.

The working principle of a steam iron is naturally inseparable from the word steam, but the mention of steam will easily make people think of high temperature. If high temperature directly contacts the skin, it will cause great harm to the skin, so users must be careful when using it and avoid contact with the skin. And it must be placed out of the reach of children, because the mass of general steam irons is very large.
