Cleaning the Soleplate

In normal use, a coating may build up on the soleplate from starch, detergent
or burnt synthetic fibers. This can be easily removed by using a quality iron

and wiped dry.
NOTE: Never use abrasive household cleaners or other chemical agents to
clean the iron.
Never use sharp or rough objects to remove deposits on the soleplate.
