SELF CLEANING
Allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the outer shell

in water and a mild household detergent. Never use
abrasive, heavy-duty cleansers or scouring pads. After
cleaning, steam iron on an old, cotton terry cloth towel for
approximately 2 minutes.
About once a month use the Self Clean feature to flush
out water, minerals, and lint. If lint is allowed to
accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause
troublesome brown spotting. Do not be alarmed if hissing
and spitting occurs while self cleaning. This is normal.
With the Water Tank filled to the Self Clean Level and the
iron sitting on its heel rest, turn the Temperature Selector
to the highest temperature setting and push the PUSH ON
Button. The Steam/Dry Dial can be in either position. Turn
the Temperature Selector to O/Fill and unplug the iron.

EMPTYING THE IRON

the Indicator Mark for O/Fill, set the
Adjustable Steam Dial to the Indicator
Mark for the Dry position, and unplug
the iron. Empty the water by holding the
iron over a sink with the tip pointing
downward (Figure H). Water will empty
out the Water Fill Hole.
