Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES
1. Make sure iron is unplugged and has cooled completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer
surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild household detergent. Never
use abrasives, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring pads that may scratch or
discolor the iron.
2. After cleaning, steam iron over an old cloth to remove any residue from the
steam vents.
SELF-CLEANING
To keep the steam vents free of any buildup, follow these instructions about once a month.
1. Fill the water tank below the MAX line.
2. Plug in the iron.
3. Turn the fabric-select dial to 6 and place iron on its heel rest. Allow it to heat until the
temperature-ready light goes out and comes on again.

5. Move the dry/steam selector to
CLEAN MAX MIN

steam will come out of the steam vents (K). Continue to hold the
selector in the
CLEAN MAX MIN
position until all the water has emptied, or until
you feel all mineral deposits have been flushed. If necessary, rock
iron side to side and front to back.
6. When finished, release the selector, stand the iron on its heel rest and plug it in.
Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water.
