STORAGE/CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
STORAGE:
• Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Always store in a dry place away from children’s reach.
• Always drain the Water Tank/Steam Generator (5) before storing.
• Always let your ironing system cool completely before putting away.
• Do not allow the electrical cord and steam hose to touch hot surfaces.
• Wrap the cord loosely around the ironing system when storing.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE:
• The cord must be unplugged from the wall outlet before starting to clean any part of the
appliance.
• Make sure that the Iron and Steam Generator are COLD before starting to clean. Allow
at least four (4) hours for the unit to cool after it has been used.
• Make sure that all steam has been emptied (released from the steam generator) before
opening the Safety/Filler Cap. (Follow instructions on page 6 Section A for releasing
steam.)
IRON:
• Clean the steam iron only when it is cold.
• Never immerse the steam iron in water or any other liquids.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or harsh cleaners.
• Prepare a paste using mild scouring powder and a little water. Apply a small amount of
the paste to the soleplate with a damp cloth. Rub the soiled area and then wipe clean
with a clean damp cloth.
• If using soleplate cleaners, make sure that you follow label instructions.
• Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild household detergent to wipe the outer
shell of the iron.
• Dry soleplate and thoroughly after cleaning.
STEAM GENERATOR:
We strongly recommend using demineralized/distilled water to insure optimum performance
and maximize the life of your steam generator.
If you are using demineralized/distilled water, the steam generator should be cleaned once
every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency and duration of usage. If you use regular
tap water, the steam generator should be cleaned once a month.
