Before cleaning, remove the plug from the socket and allow the iron to cool down.
1. Pour any remaining water out of the Water Tank, set the Steam Control Dial to
“O” and set the Iron on its Heel Rest.
2. Wipe off the Soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
3. If there are fibers adhered to the Soleplate, use a damp cloth with vinegar to
wipe off the Soleplate.
4. NEVER use strong acid or alkali in order to avoid damaging the Soleplate.
5. If scale build-up blocks the Steam Vents, remove the build-up with a toothpick;
do NOT damage the surface of the Soleplate.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Anti-Drip:
There is an assembly inside the iron which closes the steam vents when the
temperature of the iron’s Soleplate becomes very low, preventing water leakage.
Auto Shut-Off:
The auto shut-off feature trips after the iron has been left in the upright position
for approximately 15 minutes, or if it has been unused for 30 seconds in the
horizontal position. The Auto Shut-Off Indicator Light will begin to flash to indi-
cate that the Auto Shut-Off feature has been tripped. As soon as you move the
iron, the device turns on and the iron will begin to work immediately.
Self-Cleaning:
Use the self-cleaning function once every 2 weeks when using the iron regularly.
If the water in your area is very hard, the self-cleaning function should be used
more frequently.
1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and set the Steam Control button to “O”.
2. Fill the Water Tank to the “MAX” position. Do NOT put vinegar or other
descaling agents in the Water Tank. Set the Temperature Dial to “MAX”
and plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
4. Once the Power Indicator Light goes off, unplug from the outlet, hold the iron
over the sink and press and hold the Self-Cleaning button and gently shake
the iron back and forth. As steam and water is forced out of the iron, impurities
and flakes (if any) will be flushed out. Release the Self-Cleaning button when
all of the water in the Water Tank has been drained out of the iron.
5. Repeat the self-cleaning process if there are still a lot of impurities in the iron.
6. When finished, plug the iron back into the wall outlet and allow the iron to heat
up so that the Soleplate will dry. Once the iron has reached the set ironing
temperature and the Power Indicator Light goes off, unplug the iron and gently
move it over a piece of cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed
on the Soleplate.
7. Allow the iron to cool down before storing it.
