MAINTAINING YOUR IRON

CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE: Turn off iron following instructions above.
Clean the soleplate if starch or other residue accumulate.
TO CLEAN THE SOLEPLATE: Allow the iron to cool and then wipe it
with a soft, damp cloth.
WARNING: Do not immerse in liquids. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers,
scouring pads or vinegar to clean the soleplate. This will damage the
finish. Run the iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.
USING THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE: You should use the Self-Cleaning
feature once a month to maintain the optimal performance of your iron.
TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE:
Turn off iron following instructions above.
1. Fill the water reservoir with tap water to the MAX line.
2. Plug in the iron, set the Fabric Select Dial to Linen and allow the iron

WARNING: Be careful not to touch the iron's hot surfaces.
5. Slowly rock the iron side to side and front to back for 30 seconds.
When rocking the iron, dip the nose of the iron slightly below the
rear of the iron to make certain the water circulates completely.
6. After 1 minute, turn the iron upside down, and allow the remaining
water to flow out of the fill hole.
7. Dry the soleplate with a towel.
8. Plug in the iron and set the Fabric Select Dial to Linen. Let the iron
