• Turn off and unplug the iron.

• H old the iron over the sink and activate the self-cleaning feature by removing

the steam valve stem. Turn the variable steam dial to C L E A N . T he valve will
“ pop-up.” Pull up to fully remove the steam valve.

• Slowly rock the iron from side to side and front to back for 30 seconds. W hen

rocking from front to back, the nose of the iron should dip slightly below the
rear of the iron to make certain water is circulated completely through the iron.

• R eplace Steam valve. Before replacing, gently wipe the tip with a damp cloth to

clean. To replace, align C L E A N with the indicator mark. Push down and rotate
clockwise to D RY.

• E mpty the remaining water through the fill opening.

• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.

• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.

• You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics)

to avoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.

• If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam

or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually
increase the heat to find the best setting.

• W hen changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow

approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.

• W hen steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. T his will allow the steam

to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.

• To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot

because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.

• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron

over the flap. N ever iron directly over an unprotected zipper.

• Use the Ironing G uide on Page English-7 to select the best setting and method for

the fabric you plan to iron.

1. Allow the iron to cool.

2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water reservoir after each use

for a longer iron life. To do so, turn the iron upside down to allow water to flow from
the fill hole. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops. C lose the water
reservoir cover.

3. L oosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.

I M PO R T A N T : Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.

• Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum level.

• Set the temperature selector knob to its highest setting.

• A llow the iron to heat for 1-1/2 minutes.
