STORING 

Allow the appliance to cool completely before storing.  Loop cord loosely around the iron 
when storing. Store the appliance in a dry location.  Do not place any heavy items on 

top of appliance during storage as this may result in possible damage of appliance. Store 
the cord in a clean, dry location away from metal objects.   

 
NOTE: The soleplate may become damaged if the iron is stored facing downward. 

 

 

TROUBLE SHOOTING 

 

 
Problem Solution 
The iron emits a brown substance
 

The brown substance may be caused by 

organic matter or iron minerals in the tap 
water. We recommend switching to bottled 
spring water. Once you change water it 

may take several uses before your iron 
adjusts to the new mixture and the issue is 

corrected.  

 

The iron is spitting and leaking 
 

First, check the water you use. DO NOT 
USE DISTILLED WATER. We recommend 
using tap water (up to 12 grains of 

hardness per gallon) or bottled spring 
water. If you change water, it may take 

several uses before your iron adjusts to 
the new mixture and the issue is corrected 

 

 

The iron emits white flakes 

The white flakes can be caused by calcium 

or other minerals in the tap water. To 

solve this problem, switch to bottled spring 

water. Once the water is changed it may 

take several uses before your iron adjusts 

to the new mixture and the issue is 

corrected.  

 

Build-up on the soleplate 
 

During normal use, a sticky film caused by 
starch and melted fibers can build up on 

the soleplate. Iron a linen cloth soaked 
with white vinegar.
