How the iron of tomorrow

（the first Self Cleaning Iron）

can change your lifestyle today ?

General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow. The iron can clean itself inside where irons get dirty. Because it cleans itself each and every time you empty it. How? With a push of a magic blue button.

The magic blue button

The first thing you'll notice that's different about this iron is the blue button on the side. It's marked "Self Clean". Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits（沉淀物） that remain and block up inside. Push this button, and you've made life a lot easier.

Less chance of brown spots

Sure, Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots. （Those ugly spots that happen on nice, cleanly pressed clothes. ） Because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic blue button.

Steams better longer

Common sense tells you that if you've an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long period of time. In other words, it steams better longer. That's another joy of owning General Electric's Self Cleaning Iron.

What does it mean to you

Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids. You're working. You're going to school. It's all part of your lifestyle. The iron can change that lifestyle. By giving you less trouble before you iron. If we can make it easier for you to be a better wife, a better mother, a better housemaker, we want to. The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric.

Lifestlye.

We're with yours.
