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.

Do not store iron laying flat on
soleplate.
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.
