USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do
not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed
by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Emptying the Water Tank

The Water Tank should be emptied after each use.
1. When finished ironing, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the
"min" position; turn the Steam Control Dial to the "X" (no
steam) position, and unplug the Iron.
2. While the Iron is still warm, hold it over a sink and turn upside
down, allowing water to drain from the Water Fill Opening (see
FIGURE 10).
3. Turn the Iron back to the horizontal position. Press the Blast of
Steam and Spray Buttons to release any water (see FIGURE 11).
The warmth of the Iron should dry out any remaining water.
CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH WATER OR
ESCAPING STEAM.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Unplug the Iron from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely
before cleaning and storing. Never immerse the Iron in water or any other liquid.
NOTE: Do not put any chemical cleaning agents or solvents in the Water Tank, or on
any part of the Iron.
1. Moisten a soft cloth with a dab of vinegar to remove spots from the Ceramic
Soleplate. Take care not to scratch the Soleplate.
CAUTION: Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on the Ceramic
Soleplate, as this may scratch the surface.
2. Wipe the outside surfaces of the Iron with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a small
amount of mild detergent to clean.
3. Before using again, preheat and move the iron over an old cloth several times to
remove any residue from the Ceramic Soleplate.

Self-Clean Function

It is advised to use the Self-Clean function after every 5 uses to prevent harmful
mineral build-up that can clog the Iron and prevent proper heating and steaming.
1. With the Iron unplugged, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the "min" position
and the Steam Control Dial to the "X" (no steam) position. Make sure that the Iron
has cooled completely.
CAUTION: IF THE IRON IS HOT, DO NOT FILL WITH WATER.
