EMPTYING THE WATER TANK
The water tank should be emptied after each use. To do so:
1. Unplug iron from the electrical outlet.
2. Open the fill cover and turn the iron upside down to allow water to
flow from the fill hole.
3. Gently shake the iron to loosen any water drops that may be
trapped, the warmth of the iron should dry out any remaining water.
Note: If you empty the water tank after the iron has cooled, set the
iron in an upright position on its heel, plug it in and set the
temperature dial to maximum heat for 2 minutes. Then unplug the
iron and let it cool before storing it.
CLEANING / FLUSHING

mineral build-up that can clog the iron and prevent it from heating and
steaming properly. To flush the iron:
1. Position temperature control dial to “OFF’.
2. Turn variable steam dial to “OFF”.
3. Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum fill line.

setting “ ••• ” linen. Let it heat until the ready light illuminates
(approximately 2 minutes).
5. Turn the variable steam dial to “clean”.
6. Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.
7. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing steam
to flow through the vents until the water tank is emptied, you may
also depress the burst of steam button several times remembering to
pause about 5 seconds between bursts to allow the iron to reheat.
8. Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate.
9. When finished, turn temperature control dial to “OFF’ and
unplug, allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron
or storing. Use a cloth to wipe off exterior of iron before storing.
