Soleplate Care To clean an iron's soleplate, preheat the iron to the highest temperature setting and iron over a damp, 100% cotton cloth. This creates heavy steam that transfers grime from the soleplate to the cloth. Many irons have a Self-Clean Button. This will clean the steam holes, but it will not remove grime from the flat surface of the soleplate. NOTE: Care should be used while cleaning; steam can burn. NOTICE: To avoid damage to the iron soleplate: • Never iron over zippers, buttons, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since they may scratch the soleplate surface. • Allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soapy, soft damp cloth to clean occasional buildup on the soleplate. Never use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, since they may scratch the surface. 10

Care and Cleaning
1
Allow iron to cool.
2
To clean an iron’s soleplate, preheat the iron to the highest
temperature setting and iron over a damp, 100% cotton cloth.
This creates heavy steam that transfers grime from the soleplate
to the cloth. Many irons have a Self-Clean Button. This will clean
the steam holes, but it will not remove grime from the flat surface
of the soleplate.
NOTE: Care should be used while cleaning; steam can burn.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the iron soleplate:
• Never iron over zippers, buttons, pins, metal rivets, or snaps,
since they may scratch the soleplate surface.
• Allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soapy, soft damp cloth to
clean occasional buildup on the soleplate. Never use abrasive
cleaners or metal scouring pads, since they may scratch the
surface.
Do not store iron laying flat on
soleplate.
3
To empty water from iron, open
the water tank cover and slowly
tilt pointed end of iron over sink
until water runs out.
