• Turn off and unplug the iron.
• H old the iron over the sink and activate the self-cleaning feature by removing
the steam valve stem. Turn the variable steam dial to C L E A N . T he valve will
“ pop-up.” Pull up to fully remove the steam valve.
• Slowly rock the iron from side to side and front to back for 30 seconds. W hen
rocking from front to back, the nose of the iron should dip slightly below the
rear of the iron to make certain water is circulated completely through the iron.
• R eplace Steam valve. Before replacing, gently wipe the tip with a damp cloth to
clean. To replace, align C L E A N with the indicator mark. Push down and rotate
clockwise to D RY.
• E mpty the remaining water through the fill opening.

• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
• You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics)
to avoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam
or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually
increase the heat to find the best setting.
• W hen changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow
approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
• W hen steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. T his will allow the steam
to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.
• To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot
because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.
• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron
over the flap. N ever iron directly over an unprotected zipper.
• Use the Ironing G uide on Page English-7 to select the best setting and method for
the fabric you plan to iron.

1. Allow the iron to cool.
2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water reservoir after each use
for a longer iron life. To do so, turn the iron upside down to allow water to flow from
the fill hole. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops. C lose the water
reservoir cover.
3. L oosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.
I M PO R T A N T : Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.

• Set the temperature selector knob to its highest setting.
• A llow the iron to heat for 1-1/2 minutes.
