Iron Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POTENTIAL REASON & SOLUTIONS
Iron does not work
•
Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.
•
Thermostat setting is too low. Turn to higher setting.
Thermostat ready light
goes On and Off
•
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.
Some odor or small
particles come out of
steam vents of new
iron
•
This is normal. Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to
steam through 2-3 fillings 7 press the steam burst button
occasionally to eliminate small white particles.
Iron does not steam
•
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 '•••'.
•
Always allow the iron to reach the selected temperature with the
steam setting at '0'. Make sure that the temperature control dial
is set in the correct steam area 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.
Water droplets
coming from steam
vents
•
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. Use
regular tap water for 1 or 2 tanks until steam performance
improves.
