Caring for Your Iron After Use

TURNING OFF YOUR IRON

1.Turn the Steam dial to DRY and the Fabric Select dial to OFF.

2.Unplug the iron from the power source.

WARNING: NEVER yank the power cord when unplugging the iron, this can damage the cord.

STORING YOUR IRON

1.Allow the iron to cool.

2.If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water reservoir after each use for a longer iron life. To do so, open the water reservoir cover and turn the iron upside down to allow water to flow from the fill hole. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops.

Close the water reservoir cover.

3.Loosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.

IMPORTANT: Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.

Tip: When not ironing, always set the Steam dial and the Fabric Select dial to OFF.
