Caring and Cleaning
Iron Storage
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, fully retract the cord into
the iron and store in an upright position. 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
scouring pads.
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 then plug in iron.
2. Turn Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron
heat for 2 minutes.
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to Off. Unplug iron and hold
over a sink with the soleplate facing down.
4. Turn Adjustable Steam Knob to CLEAN and gently pull the
Knob up. Hot water and steam will flow out of steam vents.
Allow all water to drain from iron.
5. Press and turn Adjustable Steam Knob counterclockwise
to reset then let cool and store.
