2.Plug in iron. With iron in an upright position, turn Temperature Control to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes.

3.Turn Temperature Control to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.

4.Press and hold the Self Clean Button. Boiling water and steam will flow out of steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron.

5.Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean entire soleplate area.
