CARING FOR YOUR IRON

Iron

1.The Water Tank of your iron should be emptied after each use. Set Fabric Setting Indicator to OFF ( O ). Unplug the iron and hold over a sink. Turn iron upside down until Water Tank Opening is parallel with sink. Water will run out of water tank opening.

2.After iron has completely cooled, fully retract cord into 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.Set Fabric Setting Indicator to OFF ( O ). Fill iron with water to 1⁄2 of its maximum capacity.

2.Set Adjustable Steam to Dry Iron position. Set Fabric Setting Indicator to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes.

3.Set Fabric Setting Indicator 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.

6.If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow out of steam vents.
