Caring for Your Iron

Iron
1. Turn temperature control dial to Off. 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
down over a sink. Water will run out of water tank opening.
3. Wrap cord loosely around iron and store iron in an upright
position. Do not store iron laying flat on soleplate.
Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as
these may scratch the soleplate.
2. To clean occasional build-up on the soleplate, wipe with
a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads.
3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.

Troubleshooting

Won't heat.
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check the
outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to a fabric setting?
• If auto shutoff model, is the Automatic Shutoff Light blink-
ing? If so, push Reset Button to reset.
Water is leaking.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is the Temperature Control Dial in the
steam range and did the iron have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Switch is in
the 0, dry iron position.
