NON-STICK FINISH
(Some Models Only)
• The non-stick coating prevents sticking of fabrics and starch residue to the soleplate.
• To clean the soleplate, allow iron to cool and wipe with a soft cloth using a mild
vinegar solution.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage
the finish.
• N
OTE
: Scratches in the non-stick soleplate do not affect the performance of the iron.

STEAM VALVE
The steam valve (attached to the variable steam dial) is removable for easy cleaning of lint and
scale build up. Cleaning the steam valve is only necessary if you notice a reduction in steam
performance. To remove the steam valve, empty the water tank and place iron on the soleplate.
Turn the variable steam dial to CLEAN. The valve will “pop-up.” Pull up to remove the steam
valve fully. Wipe the tip gently with a damp cloth to clean. To replace, align CLEAN with the
indicator mark. Push down and rotate clockwise to the DRY.
N
OTE
: Do not pour water into the steam valve hole.
SOLEPLATE
If starch or other material clings to the iron’s soleplate, allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soft,
damp cloth. Avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, rivets, etc., as they may scratch the soleplate.
STORAGE
Always store your iron on the heel rest.
Never store with the soleplate facing down
or in the carton. Always store your iron
with the steam dial turned to DRY.
Wrap cord around cord wrap.
