CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES

1.Make sure iron is unplugged and has cooled completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water. Add mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.

2.After cleaning, steam iron over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents.

AUTO CLEANING

To keep the steam vents free of any buildup, about once a month follow these instructions:

1.Fill the water tank well below the MAX line. Plug in the iron.

2.Turn the fabric-select dial to 6 and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow it to heat until the on indicator light goes out and comes on again.

3.Turn fabric selection dial to 0, unplug the iron and hold over a sink with the soleplate facing down.

4.	Press and hold the AUTO CLEAN® button. Be careful, as
	hot water and steam will come out of the steam vents (L).
	Continue to hold the AUTO CLEAN® button until all the
	water has emptied. If necessary, rock iron side-to-side and
	front-to-back.
5.	When finished, release the button, stand the iron on its heel
L	rest and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any
	remaining water.
