FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question:

   Why is there a clicking sound? 

Answer:

 

The anti-drip system automatically stops water escaping from the 

soleplate when the iron is too cold. During use, it may make a clicking 

sound, especially during heat-up or while cooling down. This is normal and 

indicates that the system is working correctly. 

Question:

  Why is the soleplate cold even though my iron is plugged in? 

Answer:

 

Check the iron is plugged in and switched on at the socket. There could be 

a problem with the socket, if so, try a different socket. Make sure you have 

pressed the ON/OFF button. If the iron is still not working contact Lakeland 

Customer Services on 015394 88100 or [email protected]

Question:

  Why is no steam coming out of the iron?

Answer:

 

There may not be enough water in the water tank, see ‘Filling the  

Water Tank’. 

Question:

  Why is there no steam? 

Answer:

 

There may not be enough water in the tank, see ‘Filling the Water Tank’.  

If you are using the steam shot for the first time, press the button a few 

times to pump water through the iron until you get a powerful steam shot. 

Question:

  Why is the iron damaging the fabric? 

Answer:

 

Check the care label of the garment to see whether the fabric is suitable for 

ironing. This iron cannot be used on un-ironable fabrics. If you are unsure,  

test the iron on the inside of the hem of the garment. 

Question:

  Why are flakes and impurities coming out of the soleplate? 

Answer:

 

Hard water can cause minerals and limescale to build up inside the steam 

chamber. Follow the instructions in the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section.
