To clean soleplate
Before cleaning the soleplate ensure that iron is unplugged and cooled down thor-
oughly. Cool soleplate can be wiped with damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, aggressive chemicals, and abrasive or metal sponges.
Iron storage
The appliance must be stored in a dry location away from direct sunlight or heating
appliances. Store iron in the vertical position to avoid damage to the soleplate. To keep
the soleplate in good condition do not allow it to come into contact with metal and
other hard or sharp objects.
Always store the iron empty to prevent lime scale build-up that may stain fabric during
ironing.
