PROBABLE CAUSE
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Steam ON/OFF Control in a
steam position, the Temperature Control Dial in
the steam range, and did the iron have enough
time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Steam ON/OFF
Control is in the DRY IRON position (O).
• If using the Blast Button, push button less
frequently.
• Follow the self-cleaning instructions one or
two times with tap water (not distilled) to
"condition" the iron.
• Check the water level.
• Is Steam ON/OFF Control in 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 the water tank of the iron
after using. Water left in the 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
your iron cord.
• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to
correct fabric.
