CLEANING YOUR IRON
After Ironing:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Let the iron cool completely.
2. Empty any water left in the water tank and wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Please note: if using starch, it should be sprayed on the reverse side of
the fabric and the soleplate cleaned more frequently.
3. Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4. Wind the cord loosely around the cord wrap.
5. Store the iron horizontally on a stable surface and use a cloth to protect the
soleplate. Do not let the soleplate sit on or rub against any metal materials.
Self-cleaning Function:
1. Do this function where you have close access to a sink.
2. Fill the water tank to the Max Fill level and plug in the iron. Set the temperature
dial to the Linen/Max position. A blue light will illuminate showing the iron is
“On.” Make sure the steam control dial is in the dry position.
3. When the iron is heated, hold it over a sink and move the steam control dial
backwards to the “Self Clean” position, exerting a little force. Hold the dial in
this position during cleaning. Steam and boiling water will come out of the
soleplate flushing out impurities and flakes (if any).
4. Release the dial when all the water is completely emptied from the iron.
5. Let the iron cool then wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and store as directed
in the “After Ironing” section above (#5).
Auto-decalcication Feature: There is a decalcication box inside this appliance
that greatly reduces the formation of calcium deposits.
