PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Has a temperature been selected? Turn Temperature Control Dial to desired setting.
• Has auto shutoff feature activated? Move iron to turn iron back on.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is temperature control dial set in the steam range, and did the iron have enough time to
preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure Adjustable Steam is in the DRY IRON position.
• Check water level. Has iron had enough time to preheat? Is Adjustable Steam in STEAM position?
• ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in tank may discolor clothing and soleplate.
• Choose the correct temperature setting for your fabric.
• Select a lower temperature setting. Allow iron to cool for 5 minutes before continuing.
• If cord becomes twisted, turn iron OFF and unplug. Let cool. Empty any water from iron. Hold cord in the mid-
dle of entire length. Let plug and iron dangle freely until cord uncoils. This will extend the life of your iron cord.
• Pull Smart Lift Trigger (under handle).
• Allow iron to lift up all the way before pressing down. Do not pull Smart Lift Trigger while pressing down on
the iron.
• Check water level. Make sure water tank is not overfilled.
• AUTO OFF feature engaged. Move switch to the STAY ON position.
