Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Iron won’t heat.
Water is leaking.
Iron won’t steam.
Iron leaves spots
on clothing.
Twisted cord.
Wrinkles not removed.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Is iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Has a temperature been selected?
• Is the OFF light illuminated? Move the iron to reset.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• Adjust steam to a lower setting.
• If steam ironing, is the temperature setting selected in a steam range (linen or wool)? Has a
temperature been selected? Did the iron have enough time to preheat? Too low of a temperature
setting may cause leaking until anti-drip feature activates.
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Switch is in the (Dry Iron) position.
• Check water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the (Steam) position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• Anti-drip feature will not allow steam when temperature setting is in the dry range.
• ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in 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
the iron cord.
• Choose correct temperature setting for your fabric.
