Storing Your Iron
1. When finished ironing, turn the
Temperature
Control Dial to
0 (OFF)
and
unplug iron. Set
iron on its heel
and let cool.
NOTE: If you
have the
Protective Soleplate Shield, you can
store the hot iron immediately.
2. Empty all water in iron. If the water is
not emptied, it
may interact
with the metal
of the iron and
cause the water
to discolor.
This will result in steam and water
droplets discoloring clothing.
Carefully hold iron over sink with
water tank opening aimed down.
Let all water drain out.
3. To clean the soleplate, wipe with a
wet cloth and dish detergent. Wipe
clean with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION: Be sure iron is cool prior
to cleaning.
4. To maintain good steam production,
clean the iron periodically using the
self-clean setting described in the
“Self-Clean System” section.
