Caring for Your Iron and Soleplate

1.The Water Tank of your iron should be emptied after each use. Turn

Temperature Control Dial to OFF. 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,

wrap cord loosely around the 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.
