Cleaning Salt from Boiler
We recommend cleaning the salt from the Boiler every 3-4 months
(depending on salt buildup). Use a Hard Water Mineral Remover
(found in most hardware or small appliance stores).
• Remove Water Tank Cap and empty any remaining water from
the Boiler into a sink.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions on cleaner package, and fill
tank with specified amount of cleaner.
• Empty cleaner from Boiler and fill with water, rinse thoroughly and
empty from Boiler. Repeat this process until water in tank comes
out clear.
• Replace Water Tank Cap and store iron properly.
Cleaning of Boiler and Iron is the sole responsibility of appliance
owner and is not covered by the product warranty.
As a precaution, before first use after cleaning the Boiler, hold the
iron so that it is facing downward and direct the steam into a sink to
clear any leftover salt residue from the Boiler. When clean drops of
water appear on Soleplate, wipe clean with soft cloth. Your iron is
ready for use.
