1. The water tank of your iron should
be emptied after each use. Turn

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 the iron
and store in an upright position. Do
not store iron laying flat on soleplate.
