840164201 ENv03.qxd 10/11/07 11:15 AM Page 10 Care and Cleaning (continued) Soleplate 1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as these may scratch the soleplate. 2. To clean occasional build-up on the soleplate, wipe with a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads. 3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position. Self-Clean To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these instructions each time you iron using steam. 1. Turn Temperature Settings to OFF ( O ) and set Adjustable Steam Knob to DRY. Fill iron with water to 1⁄2 of its maximum capacity. 2. Turn Temperature Settings to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam on DRY. 3. Turn Temperature Settings to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down. 4. Turn Adjustable Steam to MAX, while pressing Self Clean button often. Boiling water and steam will flow out of steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron. 5. Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean entire soleplate area. 6. If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow out of steam vents. 10 Troubleshooting PROBLEM Won't heat THINGS TO CHECK • Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp. • Is the Temperature Settings button turned to a fabric setting? • Iron may have gone to auto off (blinking red light). Push "settings" to restart and adjust to desired temperature. Water is leaking • Do not overfill the water tank. • If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam in a steam position, the Temperature Settings button in the steam range and did the iron have enough time to preheat? • If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam is in the DRY IRON position. Won't steam • Check the water level. • Is the Adjustable Steam in the STEAM position? • Has the iron had enough time to preheat? Leaves spots • ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron after using. Water left in the tank may discolor clothing and soleplate. Twisted cord • If the iron cord should become twisted, unplug iron and let cool. Hold iron cord in the middle of entire length. Let plug and iron dangle freely until cord uncoils. This will extend the life of your iron cord. 11
