• 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 trigger
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 is correctly
set. For maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam
control), temperature control dial should be set on ‘•••’.
• Make sure the iron has reached the selected
temperature by confirming that the pilot light has gone
"Off". For more steam, turn temperature dial to
higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’.
• If temperature setting is correct and there is no steam,
gently tap the soleplate on the ironing board a few
times. Move the temperature control dial from ‘MIN’ to
‘Max’ a few times.
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set temperature control
dial to the ‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient
time to heat up (pilot light goes off).
• Overuse of steam trigger. Allow more time between
each burst.
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,empty
water and follow instructions for filling.
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires
seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2
tanks until steam performance improves.
