NOTE: The soleplate may become damaged if the iron is stored facing downward.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem

Solution

The iron emits a brown substance

The brown substance may be caused by

 

organic matter or iron minerals in the tap

 

water. We recommend switching to bottled

 

spring water. Once you change water it

 

may take several uses before your iron

 

adjusts to the new mixture and the issue is

 

corrected.

 

 

The iron is spitting and leaking

First, check the water you use. DO NOT

 

USE DISTILLED WATER. We recommend

 

using tap water (up to 12 grains of

 

hardness per gallon) or bottled spring

 

water. If you change water, it may take

 

several uses before your iron adjusts to

 

the new mixture and the issue is corrected

 

 

The iron emits white flakes

The white flakes can be caused by calcium

 

or other minerals in the tap water. To

 

solve this problem, switch to bottled spring

 

water. Once the water is changed it may

 

take several uses before your iron adjusts

 

to the new mixture and the issue is

 

corrected.

 

 

Build-up on the soleplate

During normal use, a sticky film caused by

 

starch and melted fibers can build up on

 

the soleplate. Iron a linen cloth soaked

 

with white vinegar.
