HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR IRON
FABRIC IRONING CHART
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. Move the Steam/Dry Selector into the Dry position.
If the Steam/Dry Selector is not in the Dry position
after using, remaining water will move into the Soleplate and damage the Soleplate and
may result in burns during the next initial use of the iron.
4. 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.
5. After letting iron cool completely, push the Cord Wind Button to wind the cord. Store the iron
vertically in a safe place after winding cord completely.
Please see Important Safety Instructions on pages, items 4 and 5.
OUTSIDE SURFACE OF 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 finish 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 a 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.
A CAUTION
Never use steam iron cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of
the iron.
