MAINTENANCE

Be sure that the electrical plug has been removed from the electrical outlet and wait until
the iron COOLS DOWN before proceeding with maintenance tips!!
Handle / Tank / Soleplate
• These areas should be wiped clean using
a soft cloth.
• Stubborn soils on the soleplate may be
wiped off using a cloth that contains a mild
detergent or water. In particular, the
soleplate can become soiled if glue or
other adhesive materials are used when
pressing. To remove this residue, heat the
iron and run the soleplate over a cotton
rag.
• Do not use scrub brushes, polishing
powders, thinners, benzene, bleach or
other harsh cleaning materials.
• To avoid scratching the soleplate, never
place the iron on rough surfaces such as
zippers, metal fasteners, etc.

SOLUTIONS
This sound is caused by the anti-drip mechanism.
This sound is normal.
"Clicking" noises may be generated from the inside of the iron.
These sounds are caused by the operation of the automatic
temperature regulator (thermostat). These sounds are normal.
Avoid ironing over metal buttons, zippers and other items that
could scratch the surface of the soleplate.
Do not touch the iron to the plastic buttons or other garment
accessories that could melt near the heat of the iron.
White powder may occasionally be discharged together with
the steam (particularly with bursts of steam). This powder
occurs due to the cleaning effect of the steam pressure, and is
normal. If the white powder gets onto clothing, simply brush the
clothes lightly to remove it. This will not harm clothing.
