Before you store a steam iron after use, it’s advisable to empty the water reservoir and dry the steam iron.
To do this, you need to unplug the iron and pour out the water from the water tank. The residual heat from the steam iron will help dry it out. Ensure that there is no water left in the steam iron before you store it, as the water may cause mineral deposits in the soleplate’s steam holes. Store upright in a cool, dry place.
