Storing The Iron
Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than
pulling the cord, and allow iron to cool. EMPTY the water tank after
each use, then wrap the cord around the cooled iron. Allow the iron
to COOL COMPLETELY before putting it away. To protect the
soleplate, place the iron in an upright position on its heel.

Care And Cleaning
CAUTION: Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before
cleaning the exterior of the iron and storing. Never immerse an
appliance in water.

zippers, metal buttons, etc. Also, do not place the iron on metal or
rough surfaces. If starch or other residues cling to the soleplate, use
hot iron cleaner according to directions. Hot Iron Cleaner is available
at mass merchandise, discount or hardware stores.
A “home remedy” for cleaning starch or other material buildup on
the soleplate is as follows:
1. Unplug the iron and allow to cool completely.
2. Mix together 4 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon water.
3. Apply mixture to the soleplate with a soft cloth.
4. Clean mixture off with a water dampened clean cloth, dry
thoroughly. Note: DO NOT put any chemical cleaning agents or solvents
in the water tank.
