Things TO CHECK
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is Temperature Control Dial turned to a fabric setting?
• If auto shutoff model, is the Reset Button/Light
illuminated? If not, push to reset.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Knob in a steam
position that matches Temperature Control Dial steam
range? Did the iron have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Knob is
in the DRY IRON position.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Knob in the 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.
• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to
correct fabric.
• Check Temperature Control Dial and set to lower
setting. Let iron cool down 5 minutes before
continuing.
Caring for Your Iron
Soleplate
1.
Never iron over zippers, pins, metal
rivets, or snaps, as these may
scratch the soleplate.
2.
To clean occasional build-up on the
soleplate, wipe with a hot, sudsy
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers
or metal scouring pads. Do not
immerse in water.
3.
Always store iron upright in the heel
rest position.
Iron
1.
The water tank of your iron should
be emptied after each use. Turn
Temperature Control Dial to Off.
Unplug the iron and hold over a sink.
Slowly tilt pointed end of iron
down over sink. Water will run out
of water tank opening.
2.
After iron has completely cooled,
wrap cord loosely around iron and
store in an upright position. Do not
store iron laying flat on soleplate.
