Optional Features (on select models)

Auto Shutoff Reset (on select models)

The light comes on when the iron is first plugged in. After one hour, the iron will shut off and the light will go out. Push the Reset Button to turn the iron back on.

Power ON Light

On units not provided with Auto Shutoff, this light comes on when the iron is plugged in and remains on until the iron is unplugged. The light stays on even if the Temperature Control Dial is turned to OFF ( O ).

Caring and Cleaning

Iron

1.Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug and let cool. The iron takes longer to cool down than it does to heat up.

2.To empty water from iron, slowly tilt pointed end of iron down over a sink. Water will run out of water tank opening.

3.Wrap cord loosely around iron and store iron in an upright position. Do not store iron laying flat on soleplate.

Caring and Cleaning (cont)

Soleplate

1.Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as these may scratch the soleplate.

2.To clean occasional build-up on 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.Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ) and set Adjustable Steam Switch to Dry Iron . Fill iron with water to half of its maximum capacity.

2.Turn Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam Switch on Dry Iron .

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

4.Turn Adjustable Steam Switch to Self Clean , while pressing Blast of Steam button often. Boiling water and steam will flow out of steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron. The knob may may release from the iron. This is normal. Push and turn to replace when done.

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.
