IRONING TIPS

• Always read garment labels and follow manufacturer's ironing instructions.
• Synthetics are heat sensitive and may glaze or melt at high temperatures. Use
lower settings. If you are unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an
inside seam or hem) before ironing.
• Avoid ironing over zippers, snaps, buttons, pins, or rivets as they may scratch
the soleplate.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
If you iron frequently, it is not necessary to empty the water reservoir after each
use of the iron.
To empty the iron, hold the iron over the sink with the tip pointing down. Water
will stream out of the water fill opening.
To clean the outside surfaces
• Unplug and allow iron to cool completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer
surfaces with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild household detergent.
Never use abrasives, heavy duty cleansers, vinegar, or scouring pads that may

scratch or discolor the iron.
• After cleaning, iron with steam over an old cloth to remove any residue from
the steam vents.
About the Self-Cleaning System
• Use the self-cleaning system to flush out minerals and lint. If lint is allowed to
accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause brown spotting.
• Fill the iron as described in "How to Use" but keep the water level below the
MAX line. Plug in the iron, set the temperature to 7, and stand the iron on its
heel rest. Allow to heat about 3 minutes.
• Unplug the iron and take it to a sink. Holding it
horizontally over a sink, move and HOLD the variable
steam dial in the CLEAN position ( ) (H). There may be
some hissing and spitting while self-cleaning. This is
normal.
• Stay clear of HOT steam and boiling water as it comes out
H
of the vents while lint, scale, and minerals flush through!
Continue to hold the variable steam dial in the CLEAN
position until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock the iron side to side
and front to back to empty it.
• When finished, release the variable steam dial, stand the iron on its heel rest,
and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water then
unplug.
STORING THE IRON
• Unplug the iron and allow it to cool. Wrap the cord loosely around the heel
rest and tuck in the plug to secure it.
• Store vertically on its heel rest to prevent water from leaking from the soleplate.
