Care and Cleaning

1
Allow iron to cool.
Soleplate Care
To clean an iron's soleplate, preheat the iron to the highest
temperature setting and iron over a damp, 100% cotton cloth.
This creates heavy steam that transfers grime from the soleplate
to the cloth. Many irons have a Self-Clean Button. This will clean
the steam holes, but it will not remove grime from the flat surface
of the soleplate.
NOTE: Care should be used while cleaning; steam can burn.

To empty water from iron, open
the water tank cover and slowly
tilt pointed end of iron over sink
until water runs out.
CORD WRAP
Optional feature on select
models.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the iron soleplate:
• Never iron over zippers, buttons, pins, metal rivets, or snaps,
since they may scratch the soleplate surface.
• Allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soapy, soft damp
cloth to clean occasional buildup on the soleplate. Never use
abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, since they may
scratch the surface.
RETRACTABLE CORD
Optional feature on select
models.
CAUTION: Hold plug while
retracting cord. Do not unwind
the cord past the red tape on
the cord.
