THINGS TO CHECK
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to a fabric
setting?
• If auto shutoff model, is the Reset Light illuminated?
If not, push to reset.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Switch in a
steam position and the Temperature Control Dial in
the steam range? Did the iron have enough time
to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Switch
is in the DRY IRON position.
• Has the automatic shutoff timed out, causing the iron
to shut off, cool down, and be unable to generate
steam?
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM
position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• Tap the soleplate on a fairly hard surface to disrupt/
break any air bubbles (air locks) in water lines that
could be preventing water flow to soleplate.
• ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron after
using. Water left in the tank may discolor clothing
and soleplate.
• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to
correct fabric.
• Check Temperature Control Dial and set to lower
setting. Allow iron to cool down 5 minutes before
continuing.
• If the iron cord should become twisted, turn iron OFF
(O), turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF (O), and
unplug iron. Let cool. Empty water from iron. 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.
