Caring for Your Iron

Iron
1. The Water Tank of your iron should be emptied after each
use. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug
the iron and hold over a sink. Turn iron upside down until
Water Tank Opening is parallel with sink. Water will run out
of water tank opening.
2. After iron has completely cooled, store 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.
