• 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.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM
position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• 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 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.
