TROUBLESHOOTING  

GETTING TO KNOW  YOUR  IRON

Before using your Steam Iron, remove 

any labels, stickers or tags that may be 

attached to the body or soleplate of the 

iron.

When turned on for the first time, your 

new iron may emit an odor for up to 10 

minutes.  This is due to the initial 

heating of the materials used in making 

the iron. The odor is safe and should not 

reoccur after initial heating.

Also, before ironing with steam for the 

first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a 

horizontal position and hit the blast of 

steam button several times.  The iron 

may emit some small particles from the 

steam holes. This is normal and will 

clear after pressing the blast of steam 

button several times.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Iron does not heat

Thermostat ready light
goes On and Off

Some odor or small 
particles come out of 
steam vents of new 
iron

Iron does not steam

Water droplets coming
from steam vents

• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical 

outlet only.  

Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.

• Temperature setting too low.  

Turn to higher setting.

• This is normal.  

The light goes On and Off  as the thermostat is 

switching the heating element On and Off to 

maintain the selected temperature.

• This is normal.  

Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam 

through 2-3 fillings & press the steam burst button 

occasionally to eliminate small white particles.

• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low. 

Add water.

• Make sure that the temperature control dial and 

the variable steam control are correctly set.  For

maximum steam,  (setting "Max" on steam control),

temperature control dial should be set on "•••".

• Adjustable steam control is set on "0".

Always allow the iron to reach the selected 

temperature with the adjustable steam control setting 

at "0". Make sure the temperature control dial is set in 

the correct steam area, e.g. "•", and the steam control 

is not on "0".  For more steam, turn temperature dial to 

higher setting, e.g. "•••", and the steam control to 

"Max".

• If temperature setting and steam control setting are

correct and there is no steam, gently tap the 

soleplate on the ironing board a few times.  Move

the variable steam control from "0" to "Max" a few

times.

• Iron may not be hot enough.  Set thermostat to the

"Max" position. Always allow  iron sufficient time to

heat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating 

the variable steam control.

• Overuse of steam burst.  Allow more time between

each burst.

• Iron may have been overfilled.  Turn iron off,empty

water and follow  instructions for filling.

• Iron may be set to “Self Clean” mode. 

• Steam performance may be low if iron requires 

seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2 

tanks until steam performance improves.
