SELF-CLEANING/FLUSHING
Flushing the iron is advised after every 5 usages to prevent harmful
mineral build-up that can clog the iron and prevent it from heating and
steaming properly. To flush the iron:
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2.
2. Turn variable steam dial to the lowest setting. Diagram 3.
3. Fill the iron's water tank to its maximum fill line. Diagram 6.
4. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control dial to its highest
setting or cotton/linen. Let it heat for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the variable steam dial counter clockwise to the highest setting.
6. Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.
7. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing steam to
flow through the vents until the water tank is emptied. You may also
depress the burst of steam button several times remembering to pause
about 5 seconds between bursts to allow the iron to reheat. While the
iron is still warm, hold the iron over a sink and allow the iron to drain
by tipping the point of the iron down.
8. Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate or use hot iron
cleaner.
9. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting,
and unplug. Allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron
or storing. Use a cloth to wipe off exterior of iron before storing.

STORING THE IRON

Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than pulling
the cord, and allow iron to cool. EMPTY the water tank after each use, then
wrap the cord around the cooled iron as shown. Diagram 7. Allow the iron
to COOL COMPLETELY before putting it away. To protect the soleplate,
place the iron in an upright position on its heel.
