CLEANING
Iron
• The water tank of your iron should be emptied after each use. Turn Temperature
Control Dial to OFF ( O ). 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.
• After iron has completely cooled, fully retract cord into iron or loop cord loosely
around iron, as applicable, and store in an upright position. NOTICE: Do not store
iron laying flat on soleplate.
Soleplate
• Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as these may scratch the
soleplate.
• To clean occasional buildup on the soleplate, wipe with a sudsy cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.
How to clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any buildup and to avoid damaging the soleplate, fol-
low these instructions each time you iron using steam.
• Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ) and set Adjustable Steam Switch to Dry
Iron O. Fill iron with water to 1 ⁄
2
of its maximum capacity.
• Turn Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes. Keep
Adjustable Steam Switch on Dry Iron O.
• Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron and hold over a sink with
soleplate facing down.
• Turn Adjustable Steam Switch 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.
• Gently tilt iron up and down to allow water to clean entire soleplate area.
• If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as indicated in Step 2. Boiling
water and steam could still flow out of steam vents.
