Caring for Your Iron
Iron
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 has completely cooled, store in an upright posi-
tion. 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 scour-
ing pads. Do not immerse in water.
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. Fill iron with water.
2. Plug in iron. Turn Temperature Control Dial to the highest
temperature.
3. Let iron heat for 3 minutes.
4. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF. Unplug iron and
hold over a sink with the soleplate facing down.
5. Turn Adjustable Steam Switch to Full Steam . Hot water
and steam will flow out of the steam vents. Press the Blast
Button several times to increase cleaning.
6. Allow all water to drain from iron then let cool and store.
