►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 finish, never use a metallic pad to clean the Soleplate,
and never place the iron on a rough surface.
• The best way to remove synthetic residue from the Soleplate is to iron over an
old cotton cloth rag after heating the iron.
Note
• Never use cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the working parts
of the iron. Some odor may be released during initial use of the iron,
however, this is normal and the odor will not attach to your clothes.
Never use steam iron detergent in the iron, as they may damage working
parts of the iron.

Answer
These sounds are made by the internal parts
of the iron, spray mechanism, leakage
prevention, etc, moving slightly. This is normal.
If there is laundry detergent remaining on the
fabric, the clothes may become brown after
being ironed.
The powder/particles are impurities and
minerals found in hard water. The powder/
particles can be brushed off clothing.
