AFTER EACH USE
1. Turn the iron off and unplug.
2. Empty the iron immediately after using. Do not store the iron
with water in it.
3. Wait until the iron has cooled before storing it, and always set
it on the Heel Rest to protect the soleplate from scratches,
corrosion or stains.
4. After letting iron cool completely, store the iron vertically in a
safe place.
Please see Important Safety Instructions
.
OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE IRON
After unplugging and cooling the iron, simply wipe off with a damp
cloth and if necessary, use a mild detergent.
NEVER USE ANY HARSH CLEANERS.
SOLEPLATE
Starch and other residue may be easily removed from the
Soleplate with a damp cloth.
To avoid scratching the finishing, never use a metallic pad to
clean the Soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.
If synthetics are ironed at too high temperature not only is the
fabric usually ruined, but the iron Soleplate is often covered with
the melted remains of the synthetic fabric.
The best way to remove synthetic residue from the Soleplate is to
heat the iron and to iron over an old cotton rag.
