The iron soleplate
MIn normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores.
MTo prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc.).Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e.g. metal iron support, which may scratch the soleplate. Place the iron on its rest on top of the base of the unit.
MAlways put the iron with the soleplate down on the iron rest, never place on its heel.
The base unitÊ
The iron and base can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry.
Never use household cleaners, descalers or solvents.
