Care and Cleaning

1. Turn Temperature Control Dial OFF (O). Unplug and let cool.
The iron takes longer to cool down than it does to heat up.
2. To empty water from iron, slowly tilt pointed end of iron
over sink until water runs out.
3. Wrap cord loosely around iron and store iron in an upright
position. To avoid damaging the iron, do not store laying
flat on soleplate.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the iron soleplate:
• Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps.
• Wipe with a soapy cloth to clean occasional buildup on the
soleplate. Never use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring
pads, since they may scratch the surface.
• Always store iron upright on the heel rest.
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any buildup, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1. Set Temperature Control Dial to OFF (O). Fill iron with water
to half of its maximum capacity.
2. Set Adjustable Steam Switch to
Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron heat
for 2 minutes.
3. Set Temperature Control Dial to OFF (O). Unplug iron and
hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.
4. Press and hold Self-Clean Button. Boiling water and steam
will flow out of steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron.
5. Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean
entire soleplate area.
6. If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as
indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still
flow out of steam vents.
(NO STEAM). Set
