GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC IRON
Before using your Retractor ™
Retractable Cord Iron, remove any
labels, stickers or tags that may be
attached to the body or soleplate of the
iron.
When turned on for the first time, your
new iron may emit an odor for up to 10
minutes. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used in making
the iron.
The odor is safe and should not reoccur
after initial heating.
Also, before ironing with steam for the
first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a
horizontal position and hit the burst of
steam button several times. The iron
may emit some small particles from the
steam holes. This is normal and will
clear after pressing the burst of steam
button several times.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Iron does not heat
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.
• Fabric/temperature setting too low.
Select a higher fabric/temperature setting.
• 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 fabric/temperature setting and the
variable steam control are correctly set. For maximum
steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control), fabric setting
should be set on ‘•••’.
• Variable steam control is set on “0”. Always allow the
iron to reach the selected temperature with the variable
steam control setting at ‘0’. Make sure the
fabric/temperature setting is set in the correct steam
area, e.g. ‘•’, and the steam control is not on ‘0’. For
more steam, set the fabric/temperature setting to a
higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’, and the steam control to ‘Max’.
• If fabric/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 fabric/temperature
to the ‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient time
to heat up 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.
