spots
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Settings Button set on a
fabric setting?
• Iron may have gone to auto off (blinking red
light). Push “Settings” to restart and adjust to
desired temperature.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Dial in a
steam position, the Temperature Settings
Button in the steam range, and did the iron
have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam
Dial is in the (DRY IRON) position.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Dial in a STEAM
position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron
after using. Water left in the tank may discolor
clothing and soleplate.
• If the iron cord should become twisted, unplug
iron and let cool. Hold iron cord in the middle
of entire length. Let plug and iron dangle freely
until cord uncoils. This will extend the life of
your iron cord.

Care and Cleaning
(cont.)
Soleplate
1.
Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since
these may scratch the soleplate.
2.
To clean occasional buildup on the soleplate, wipe with
a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads.
3.
Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any buildup, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1.
Set Temperature Settings Button to
OFF
(
O
) and set
Adjustable Steam Dial to (DRY). Fill iron with water
to 1⁄2 of its maximum capacity.
2.
Set Temperature Settings Button to Linen setting and let
iron heat for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam Dial on
(DRY).
3.
Set Temperature Settings Button to
OFF
(
O
). Unplug iron
and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.
4.
Turn Adjustable Steam Dial to (MAX), while pressing Self-
Clean Button often. Boiling water and steam will flow out of
steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron.
5.
Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean
entire soleplate area.
6.
If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as
indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow
out of steam vents.
