Caring and Cleaning
Iron Storage
1. The water tank of your iron should be emptied after each use.
Turn Temperature Control Dial to Off. Unplug the iron and hold
over a sink. Slowly tilt pointed end of iron down over sink.
Water will run out of water tank opening.
2. After iron is complete cool, wrap cord loosely around iron and
store in upright position. Do not store iron laying flat on soleplate.
Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as
these may scratch the soleplate.
2. To clean occasional build-up on the soleplate, wipe with
a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads.
3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF and set Adjustable
Steam Knob to DRY. Fill iron with water to
capacity.
2. Turn Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron heat
for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam Knob on DRY.
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to Off. Unplug iron and hold
over a sink with soleplate facing down.
4. Turn Adjustable Steam Knob to MAX, while pressing Blast of
Steam button often. Boiling water and steam will flow out of
steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron.
5. Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean entire
soleplate area.
6. If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as indicat-
ed in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow out of
steam vents.
