HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR IRON
AFTER EACH USE
1. Turn iron off and unplug.
2. Empty iron immediately after using. Don't store the iron with water in it.
3. Depress the steam button down into the dry iron position.
4. Wait until the iron has cooled before storing it, and always set it on the heel rest to protect
the soleplate from scratching, corroding or staining.
5. After letting iron cool completely, push the cord wind button to wind the cord. Store iron
vertically in a safe place after winding cord completely. (NI-43GX/44GX/45GX/G10NR Only)
MAIN BODY
After unplugging and cooling the iron, simply wipe off with a damp cloth and it necessary,
use a mild detergent.
NEVER USE ANY HARSH CLEANERS.
SOLEPLATE
Starch and other residue may be easily removed from the soleplate with a damp cloth.
To avoid scratching the finish never use a metallic pad to clean the soleplate, and never
place the iron on a rough surface.
If synthetics are ironed at too high a temperature, not only is the fabric usually ruined,
but the iron soleplate is often covered with the melted remains of the synthetic fabric.
The best way to remove synthetic residue from the soleplate is to heat the iron and to
iron over an old cotton rag.
CAUTION:
Never use steam iron cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the inside of the iron.
