Solution
Check that the plug is
properly inserted into the
outlet or try plugging the
iron into a different outlet.
Turn the SmartSteam™
Dial to settings 4–6 to iron
with steam.
Follow the instructions
under the "filling the
water tank" section and
fill to Max level marker.
If the iron isn't fully
preheated to the desired
setting, the anti-drip
feature will prevent the
iron from creating steam.
Allow the iron additional
time to heat.
Empty the water tank
after each use.
Refrain from using
descaling agents,
perfumed or scented
additives.
Always clean your
soleplate after using
starch and clean your iron
regularly.
Use only untreated tap
water or a mix of half
tap and half distilled
water and clean your iron
regularly.
