TROUBLESHOOTING
Iron does not heat
• Make sure that the iron is plugged in and turned on. Make sure
to select a fabric.
• The automatic shutoff may have activated: move the iron to reset
and begin heating.
Iron does not steam
• The iron will only produce steam at the highest settings (Wool,
Cotton, Linen). Make sure the iron is set to one of those.
• The variable steam control must not be set to the “no steam“ setting.
Move the variable steam control to one of the steam settings.
• Make sure the water tank is full.
• After many months of use in a very hard water environment, the
steam chamber can become clogged with hard mineral deposits;
which may block steam production. Follow the self-clean procedure
to eliminate some of the deposits from the steam chamber.
Water leaks from the soleplate
• Make sure that you are using the Burst of Steam in the highest set-
ting. If not, the iron will not be hot enough to produce steam.
• When storing the iron turn the variable steam knob to “no steam”
setting. Try to store the iron sitting on the heel rest.
Iron is flashing and beeping
• Unplug and inspect for damage
• If there is no damage, plug iron in and iron will operate normally.
Before reusing iron after Self Clean Procedure:
1. Refill water tank.
2. Set iron to maximum. When it is ready, operate Burst of Steam
to flush any remaining deposits out of the soleplate.
Automatic Shutoff
This iron is equipped with an automatic shutoff circuit that will shut
down the heater if the iron is left motionless in the following
positions for the following time: Heel rest: 10 minutes; face down:
30 seconds; on its side: 30 seconds.
When the automatic shutoff has been triggered, the indicator lights
will flash on and off. To restart the iron, move it back and forth. The
iron will heat up to the last setting.
If the iron has been knocked off the pressing surface to the floor, the
impact sensor will shut the iron off immediately, and lights will flash
on and off and beep continuously. If there is no damage, plug in
iron and it will function normally.

and inspect for damage. If there is obvious damage or if you hear any
loose parts or suspect the iron has been damaged, contact Conair
Customer Service at 1-800-472-7606 to arrange for service. Be
extremely cautious if you have dropped the iron, as exposed electrical
components could cause an electric shock, serious injury or death.
