Instructions to clean the soleplate of your iron
If you want to clean the soleplate of your iron, please use the cleaning stick GC012 and follow the cleaning instructions below:
Please Note:

- Unplug the iron and place it on its heel with a piece of rag cotton cloth underneath.
- Apply the cleaning stick over the dirty area once or twice.
- Wipe the dirty area and liquid from the soleplate with the piece of cotton cloth.
- (If you have a dry iron skip this step) Clean off the remaining wax in the steam vents with a cotton bud and by steam ironing over the rag cloth.
Please Note:
- The soleplate is hot, please do not touch it with bare hands.
- During cleaning, some fumes will be emitted from the melted cleaning stick material.
