| Q. |
How
do I clean the soleplate? |
| A. |
Care
and cleaning of the soleplate: to protect the soleplate from scratches, never
iron over buttons, zippers, metal rivets, or snaps. To clean starch build-up and
other residue from the SilverStone soleplate (feature found on selected irons),
unplug the iron and allow it to cool. With iron in upright position, clean the
nonstick surface with a warm, sudsy cloth or sponge; wipe dry. DO NOT USE
any abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads as they may damage the nonstick surface.

|
| Q.
|
How
do I store the iron? |
| A. |
Store
the iron in the upright position, never wrap the cord around the iron and empty
all water from the iron. It is best not to store the iron in dust prone areas
such as a laundry room where dust can settle in the opening of the water reservoir;
dust will eventually cause blockage and prevent the iron from steaming. |
| |
|
| Q. |
What
type of water should I use? |
| A. |
Tap
water is recommended because it has minerals in it that actually "season" internal
parts. However, in hard water areas, use a combination of bottle and tap water.

|
| Q. |
Why
does the iron not glide over the material? |
| A. |
The
iron must preheat for 5 minutes to allow the thermostat to stabilize, and it must
be set on the proper temperature for the type of fabric you're ironing. |
