Unplug the iron and hold over a sink. Slowly tilt pointed end of iron down over sink. Water will run out of water tank opening. 2. After iron has completely cooled, wrap cord loosely around iron and store in an upright position. Do not store iron laying flat on soleplate. 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 hot, sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads. Do not immerse in water. 3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position. Troubleshooting PROBLEM Iron won't heat. Water is leaking out of the iron. Iron won't steam. Iron leaves spots on clothing. Wrinkles not removed. Iron too hot. Things TO CHECK • Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
