CLEANING 1. Allow the iron to cool completely.
THE OUTSIDE 2. For model F855, clean the Soleplate with a
paste of mild scouring powder and a little
water. Apply a small amount of paste to the
Soleplate with a damp cloth. Rub the soiled
area and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
3. For model F855S, wipe the non-stick coated
Soleplate with a cloth dampened in water
and a mild detergent. Never use abrasives,
heavy-duty cleansers, or scouring pads.
4. After cleaning, steam iron over an old cotton
terry cloth towel for approximately 2 minutes.
SELF CLEANING
1. About once a month, use the
Self-Clean and Surge of Steam
features to flush out water,
minerals, and lint. If lint is
allowed to accumulate in the
vents, it can scorch and cause
troublesome brown spotting.
Do not be alarmed if hissing and
spitting occurs while self
cleaning. This is normal.
2. Be sure the Water Tank is about
1 /
3
full (filled to the Setting
Indicator).
3. Set the iron on its heel rest.
Then heat at the highest
temperature setting for about
2 minutes.
4. Turn the Adjustable Steam
Control to Dry and use the
Surge feature 2 to 3 times.
5. Unplug the iron.
6. Hold the iron in the ironing
position over a sink or basin.
7. Turn the Adjustable Steam
Control to the Push to Clean
setting. (Figure I).
