• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Control Selector turned to a
fabric setting?
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam in a steam
position, the Temperature Control Selector in
the steam range and did the iron have enough
time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam
is in the DRY IRON position.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam 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.
• 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.

Caring for Your Iron
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1.
Turn Temperature Control to
OFF ( O )
and set
Adjustable Steam Knob to DRY. Fill iron with water
to
1
⁄
2
of its maximum capacity.
2.
Turn Temperature Control to Linen setting and let iron heat
for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam on DRY.
3.
Turn Temperature Control to
OFF ( O )
. Unplug iron and
hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.
4.
Turn Adjustable Steam 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.
