You can use the self-clean function to
remove scale and impurities.
Use the self-clean function once every
two weeks. If the water in your area is
very hard the self-clean function should
be used more frequently.
ATTENTION: FOR MODELS WSI100 AND
WSI200 ONLY

(ALL MODELS)
SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
CLEANING AND CARE
1. Turn the Temperature Control Dial
to MIN, then disconnect the iron
from the wall outlet and let it cool
down completely.
2. Deposits and other residues on the
sole plate and can be removed with
a cloth soaked in a vinegar/water
solution.
3. The casing may be wiped with a
damp cloth and then polished with
a dry one.
4. Never use any abrasives to clean the
sole plate.
5. Keep the sole plate smooth; avoid
contact with metal objects.
• Always read garment labels and
follow the manufacturer’s ironing
instructions.
• Sort the articles to be ironed
according to the type of fabric.
• You should first iron garments
requiring low temperature to avoid
damaging them with an iron that is
too hot.
• If you are unsure of the fabric
content of the garment, test a
small area, such as a seam or
facing, before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature and
gradually increase the heat to find
the best setting.
• When changing the temperature
from a high setting to a low setting,
allow approximately 5 minutes
for the lower temperature to be
reached.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow
passes over the fabric. This will
allow the steam to penetrate the
fabric while allowing the heat of the
soleplate to dry out the moisture.
• To iron linens, turn garment inside
out. Be careful not to use and iron
that is too hot because the lining
may melt or stick to the soleplate.
• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth
or make sure the zipper is closed
and iron over the flap. Never use
iron over an unprotected zipper.
HELPFUL TIPS
SET UP & USE
The Auto Shut-Off feature (or
setting the thermostat to “OFF”) is
not intended to take the place of
unplugging the cord. Disconnect the
electric iron when not in use! Even
though the iron is unplugged the
soleplate is still hot. Be sure to rest the
iron on its heel, away from fabric.
1. When the iron is not moved with the
soleplate facing down (Fig. A) or
lying on its side (Fig. B) for 30 to 35
seconds approxinately, the iron will
automatically turn off the power to
the heater.
2. When the iron is vertical on the Heel
Rest (Fig. C) for more than 8 to 9
minutes approximately, the iron will
automatically turn off the power to
the heater.
3. To turn the heater back on and
resume ironing, simply move the
iron in any direction. Place the iron
on its Heel Rest and allow the iron to
reheat before resuming ironing.
NOTE:
· The Auto Shut-Off System works
regardless of position of the
Temperature Control Knob.
