STORING YOUR IRON
1. Allow the iron to cool.
2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water reservoir
after each use for a longer iron life. To do so, turn the iron upside
down to allow water to flow from the fill hole. Shake the iron gently
to remove trapped water drops.
3.
Loosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.
Important: Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage
the cord.
Tip: When not ironing, always set the Steam dial to DRY and the Fabric
Select dial to OFF.
