STEP 8: CLEANING ( AS NEEDED )
a. Cleaning the Pressing Plate: Place the pressing cushion in the center of the
ironing board. Place a clean towel over the pressing cushion and the iron-
ing board. Set the steam control and temperature control to their maximum
setting. When the ready light comes on, gently lower the pressing plate onto
the pressing cushion. With water in the reservoir tank, press the steam burst
control 6 to 7 times. Be careful to avoid touching the hot metal surfaces or
leaving your hand in the bursts of steam.
b. O nce the Pressing Plate has cooled down you can clean the surface with a
damp cloth. DO NOT use any abrasives on the pressing plate. This pressing
plate has a non-stick coating that will assist in cleaning.
c.
The ironing board cover is removable for normal washing. You can rinse the
ironing board cover with mild detergent and warm water.
SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS
USING A PRESS CLOTH
Placing a press cloth (a piece of clean fabric) between the fabric and the press-
ing plate may be desirable, especially for more delicate fabrics.
OLDER STYLE BUTTONS AND ZIPPERS
While most modern buttons and zippers require no special attention, some older
types may be heat sensitive. Take care with items that could melt. Lower the heat
or steam settings, place the items FACE DOWN on the ironing board, and cover
the fabric with a press cloth BEFORE pressing. This will help protect delicate
accessories and fasteners.
