TURNING OFF YOUR IRON

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, open the water reservoir
cover and turn the iron upside down to allow water to flow from the
fill hole. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops.
Close the water reservoir cover.
3.
Loosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.
