Iron does not steam	• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low.
	Add water.
	• Make sure that the fabric/temperature setting and
	the variable steam control are correctly set. For
	maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control),
	temperature setting should be set on ‘•••’.
	• Variable steam control dial is set on “0”.
	Always allow the iron to reach the selected
	temperature with the variable steam control setting
	at ‘0’. Make sure the temperature setting is set in
	the correct steam area, e.g. ‘•’, and the steam control is
	not on ‘0’. For more steam, set the fabric setting to a
	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.

Before using your Retractor ™ Retractable Cord Iron, remove any labels, stickers or tags that may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.

When turned on for the first time, your new iron may emit an odor for up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used in making the iron.

The odor is safe and should not reoccur after initial heating.

Also, before ironing with steam for the first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a horizontal position and hit the burst of steam button several times. The iron may emit some small particles from the steam holes. This is normal and will clear after pressing the burst of steam button several times.

Water droplets coming	• Iron may not be hot enough. Set temperature to the
	‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient time to
from steam vents
	heat up 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. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2
	tanks until steam performance improves.
