CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STEAM VALVE
The Steam Valve(attached to the Variable Steam Dial) is removable for easy cleaning
of lint and scale build up. Cleaning the Steam Valve is only necessary if you notice a
reduction in steam performance. To remove the Steam Valve; empty the water tank
and place iron on the
soleplate. Turn the Variable Steam Dial to CLEAN. The valve
will “pop-up.” Pull up to remove
the Steam Valve fully. Wipe the tip gently with a
damp cloth to clean. To replace, align CLEAN
with the indicator mark. Push down
and rotate clockwise to the no steam icon.

OTE
:
Do not pour water into the steam valve hole.
SOLEPLATE
If starch or other material clings to the iron’s soleplate, allow the iron to cool and wipe
with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, rivets, etc., as they may scratch
the soleplate.
STORAGE
Always store your iron on the heel rest. Never store with the soleplate facing down or
in the carton. Always store your iron with the Steam Dial turned to DRY.
MAINTENANCE
Other than recommended care instructions contained in this pamphlet, no further user
