SELF CLEANING/FLUSHING
Flushing the iron is advised after every 5 uses or more regularly to prevent
harmful mineral build-up that can clog the iron and prevent it from heating
and steaming properly.
1. Fill the water reservoir half full, see FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR.
2. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe
surface and plug into a 120V ~ 60 Hz. outlet.
3. Turn the temperature dial clockwise to the maximum setting .
4. The ready light will turn off when the iron has reached the desired
setting.
5. Wait for one more cycle–the ready light will cycle on and back off
again.
6. Turn the temperature dial counter-clockwise to MIN.
7. Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than
pulling the cord.
8. Turn the steam control knob counter-clockwise to descaling position
.
The knob will raise slightly.
9. Steam and hot water will flow through the vents until the water reservoir
is emptied.
10. Gently move the iron back and forth until the water reservoir is empty.
11. Turn the steam control knob to ‘O’ position.
STORING THE IRON
Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than pulling the
cord. Empty the water reservoir after each use, see EMPTYING THE WATER
RESERVOIR. Wrap the cord around the cooled iron as shown . Allow
the iron to COOL COMPLETELY before putting away. To protect the soleplate,
place the iron in an upright position on its heel.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet and allow to cool before
cleaning the exterior of the iron and storing. Never immerse the iron in water.
NOTE: Do not put any chemical cleaning agents or solvents in the water
reservoir.
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.
IMPORTANT:
Any servicing that requires disassembly must be performed by
an authorized service center.
