Caring and Cleaning (cont)
Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as
these may scratch the soleplate.
2. To clean occasional build-up on 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.
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ) and set
Adjustable Steam Switch to Dry Iron . Fill iron with water
to half of its maximum capacity.
2. Turn Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron
heat for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam Switch on Dry
Iron .
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron
and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.
4. Turn Adjustable Steam Switch to Self Clean , while
pressing Blast of Steam button often. Boiling water and
steam will flow out of steam vents. Allow all water to drain
from iron. The knob may may release from the iron. This is
normal. Push and turn to replace when done.
5. Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean entire
soleplate area.
6. If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as
indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow
out of steam vents.

Caring and Cleaning
Iron
1. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug and let
cool. The iron takes longer to cool down than it does to
heat up.
2. To empty water from iron, slowly tilt pointed end of iron
down over a sink. Water will run out of water tank opening.
3. Wrap cord loosely around iron and store iron in an upright
position. Do not store iron laying flat on soleplate.
