在用电熨斗熨烫衣物的间歇，应将电熨斗竖立放置，或者放在专用的电熨斗架子上。切不可降电熨斗放在易燃的物品上，以免着火；也不要把电熨斗放在铁块或砖石上，以免划伤底板电镀层。
要及时清除电熨斗外表面的污物。化纤织物表面的绒毛容易被熔化，并粘附底板上结焦，形成黑斑，不仅难看，也给使用带来不便。为了避免这类污物的产生，在熨烫化纤织物时，可垫一块干净的湿布。
电熨斗使用结束后(或中途发生停电时)，应拔去电源插头，让其自然冷却，必须等待手触无热感后，再放入包装盒门。
普通型电熨斗不能控制温度，很难满足各类衣物的熨烫要求。特别是在熨烫化纤织物时，稍一不慎就会把衣物烫坏，有时只能凭使用者的经验来掌握好温度。
初次使用电熨斗前，先检查熨斗的电压和您家中的电压是否一致。
蒸汽电熨斗每次用完，必须将余水倒净。如果倒不干净，可以插电让蒸汽从底板喷出。否则遗留下的水会从底板流出，下次加热时水中的矿物质就会沾在底板上，久了会侵蚀底板。
熨斗千万不能浸在水中。
蒸汽电熨斗最好直立收藏，更能延长使用寿命。
要熨斗长久耐用，至少每月使用“自动清洗”功能一次，把积聚在熨斗内的水垢清除，并待它彻底干爽后再收藏起来。
使用电熨斗应该注意：
电熨斗不能直接放在易燃的木板上，应放在不导热的垫板上，如陶瓷、耐火砖等耐热的垫板。
电熨斗使用的额定电压，必须与所用的电源一样。
选用保险应该能承受电熨斗的电流，电熨斗用的保险最好单独装置，这样更加安全。
电熨斗外壳应有可靠接地，以保人身安全。
用完电熨斗后，立即拔下电源插头，切断电源，以免引起火灾。
1.Turn the temperature dial on your iron to the "OFF" position. For the CE Travel Iron, turn the dial to the "MIN" position and unfold the handle a half turn counterclockwise.
2
Plug the iron into an electrical socket or with a cordless iron, pre-charge the iron before use. For dry ironing, move the system dial to the "Minimum" setting and the temperature dial to the setting required for your fabric type. Place the iron on the heel rest, wait for it to pre-heat until the indicator light turn "ON" indicating that the plate or "soleplate" of the iron has reached the correct temperature, and then begin ironing. For the Travel Iron, select the "Low," "Medium," or "High" temperature setting and wait for the indicator light to turn "OFF." Skip this step for steam ironing.
3
Set the iron on the heel rest and fill the water tank to the fill line using a measuring cup. Plug the iron into an electric socket and turn the steam system dial to the steam dispersal amount needed. Select a fabric type by turning the temperature dial to the "WOOL," "COTTON" or "LINEN" setting. Place the iron on the heel rest, and when the indicator light turns ON, begin ironing. When using the Travel Iron as a steam iron, turn the temperature dial to "MAX," wait for the indicator light to turn OFF and begin ironing. If your iron has the "surge steam" feature, push the "steam jet button" (heavily wrinkled fabrics only).
4
Turn off your iron, unplug it (if applicable) and allow it to cool. Once cooled, pour out any remaining water, if applicable, through the water tank hole and steam vents. Return the iron to the heel rest and air-dry. If some of the water doesn't evaporate, turn on the iron following the instructions for dry ironing, turn the temperature dial to a low setting and allow the iron to pre-heat. Once the iron has pre-heated, turn the iron off and cool.
5
Store a dry and cool iron by wrapping the cord, if applicable, over or under the handle around the iron. If you're using the Travel Iron, rotate the handle clockwise before wrapping the cord.
