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.
