CLEANING SOLEPLATE SURFACE
CAUTION: Unplug the Iron from the electrical outlet before
cleaning the exterior of the Iron and storing. Never immerse
an appliance in water or other liquid.
To protect the soleplate from scratching, avoid ironing over snaps, zip-
pers, metal buttons, etc. Also, do not place the iron on metal or rough
surfaces. Slight scratches in non-stick soleplates do not affect perfor-
mance of the iron.
If starch or other residues cling to the soleplate, use a commercial type
hot iron cleaner (found in local grocery or discount or hardware stores)
according to products directions.
The Iron should be fully cooled before Soleplate cleaning begins. Make
sure the Iron is unplugged before cleaning. Empty the Water Tank of
any remaining water. Apply a small amount of mild cleaner to a damp
cloth. Gently rub Soleplate, then wipe with a moist cloth. NEVER USE
scouring pads or abrasives cleaners on the Soleplate, as this may
scratch the surface. Wipe all other surfaces with a slightly damp cloth.
Never allow water or any other liquid to get into the unit, except when
filling the Water Tank. NEVER put any chemical cleaning agents or sol-
vents in the Water Tank.
BEFORE USING AGAIN, preheat and move Iron over an old cloth
several times to remove any residue from the Soleplate.
STORAGE
Unplug appliance and empty any water left in water tank. Allow unit to
cool. STORE IN UPRIGHT POSITION ON HEEL REST. Never store Iron
lying on the Soleplate. Never store it while it is hot or still plugged in.
Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on
the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and
break.
