POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Iron does not heat
Thermostat ready light
goes On and Off
Some odor or small
particles come out of
steam vents of new
iron
Iron does not steam
Water droplets coming
from steam vents
• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical
outlet only.
Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.
• Temperature setting too low.
Turn to higher setting.
• This is normal.
The light goes On and Off as the thermostat is
switching the heating element On and Off to
maintain the selected temperature.
• This is normal.
Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam
through 2-3 fillings & press the steam burst button
occasionally to eliminate small white particles.
• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low.
Add water.
• Make sure that the temperature control dial and
the variable steam control are correctly set. For
maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control),
temperature control dial should be set on ‘•••’.
• Adjustable steam control is set on "0".
Always allow the iron to reach the selected
temperature with the adjustable steam control setting
at ‘0’. Make sure the temperature control dial is set in
the correct steam area, e.g. ‘•’, and the steam control is
not on ‘0’. For more steam, turn temperature dial to
higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’, and the steam control to ‘Max’.
• If temperature setting and steam control setting are
correct and there is no steam, gently tap the
soleplate on the ironing board a few times. Move
the variable steam control from ‘0’ to ‘Max’ a few
times.
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set thermostat to the
‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient time to
heat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating
the variable steam control.
• Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time between
each burst.
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off, empty
water and follow instructions for filling.
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires
seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2
tanks until steam performance improves.
9.
CAUTION: Never use scouring
pads, abrasive or chemical
cleaners, or solvents to clean the
exterior or soleplate of your iron.
Doing so will scratch and/or
damage the surface.
10. WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at
face, towards yourself, or anyone
else while using or adjusting
steam. Burns or serious injury
may occur.
11. Always store your iron on the iron
in the upright position, not on the
soleplate. If stored face down, even
the smallest amount of moisture will
cause the soleplate to corrode and
stain.
12. DANGER! Never use the iron if it
is damaged or dropped. Using
the iron when it is damaged
could create the risks of fire,
electric shock, injury or death.
1.
Do not
rest iron on soleplate.
2.
Never
use or rest iron on an
unstable surface.
3. While the iron is hot, never set iron
on an unprotected surface - even if it
is on its heel rest.
4. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER
INJURY, before filling the iron
with water, make sure that the
plug is removed from the outlet.
5. CAUTION: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other solution, as these will
damage the steam mechanism. Do
not use contaminated water.
6. WARNING! TO AVOID FIRE, never
leave iron unattended while it is
plugged in.
7. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK, never
immerse the iron in water or other
liquid.
8. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK, never use the
iron in a location where it can fall
or be pulled into water or any
other liquid. If the iron falls into
water or any other liquid, unplug it
immediately. DO NOT reach into
the water or liquid to retrieve it.
