Iron Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POTENTIAL REASON & SOLUTIONS
Iron does not work
• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
Make su re that the plug is securely in th e socket.
• Thermo stat setting is too low. Turn to h igher 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
particle s come out of
steam vents of new
iron
• This is n ormal. F ollow ins tructions for first us e and allo w iron to

Iron does not steam
• Water tan k may be e mpty or wate r level is very low . Add wate r.
• 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 time s. Move the variable steam control from '0' to "Max' a
few times .

• 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 h ave been overfilled. Turn iro n off, empty w ater and
follow in struction s for filling .
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires seasoning. Use
regular tap water for 1 or 2 tanks until steam performance
improves.
