Ironing a T-shirt In order to iron a T-shirt start by setting the right temperature (for more information go to p.2). WARNING: Pay attention and never leave the iron unattended on the fabric. This will result in burning the fabric and may cause further destructions.
1. Iron the whole surface of the T-shirt Begin by ironing one side of the T-shirt. Make sure that the base on which you are ironing is solid.
Holding spray button When you wish to use spray function, press firmly the spray button above the fabric. This will evacuate the steam outside the iron. WARNING: Make sure your hands are out of the way, as the steam coming out is very hot and may cause burn injuries.
2. Iron the sleeves Slowly and firmly move the iron towards the sleeve. Make sure that you make as many movements, as are needed to get rid of rackles, for the sleeve to be smooth and straight.

While ironing use the spray option for the protection of the ironed fabric. You can observe this function on p. 4. Make sure that you push the button once every few movements of iron, in order to moisture the textile. Remember to re-fill the the water regularily.
Make slow movements towards the edgles of the T-shirt. Remember to check, whether the part of fabric that you have just ironed does not look creased anymore. Make back and fourth movements on the T-shirt, to be sure that the textile becomes rackleless.
