Cleaning the Soleplate

In normal use, a coating may build up on the soleplate from starch, detergent
or burnt synthetic fibers. This can be easily removed by using a quality iron
soleplate cleaner.

When the iron is cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth
and wiped dry.

NOTE:

Never use abrasive household cleaners or other chemical agents to

clean the iron.

Never use sharp or rough objects to remove deposits on the soleplate.
