to side and front to back for 30 seconds. Dip nose of the iron slightly
below the rear to circulate water. Release Self-Clean Button after one
minute.
6. Open Water Fill Hole Cover and empty remaining water. Carefully dry
soleplate with a towel after iron has cooled.
7. Plug in iron and heat for 1 minute to dry out completely. Unplug the
iron and allow to cool.
CLEANING SOLEPLATE
Clean soleplate after every 30 uses, or more frequently if starch is used or
build-up starts to accumulate. Before cleaning, ensure iron is unplugged and
cool.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
Note: Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or vinegar to clean the
soleplate. This will damage the finish.
