Fabric/clothing scorched. Twisted cord. All temperature selection buttons and OFF button blinking. PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION • Is iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check outlet by plugging in a lamp. • Has a temperature been selected? Select LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH button. • Has Auto Off feature activated (OFF button blinking)? Select a temperature setting to turn iron back on. • Do not overfill the water tank. • If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam in a STEAM position, has a temperature been selected, and did the iron have enough time to preheat? • If dry ironing, make sure Adjustable Steam is in the DRY IRON position. • Check water level. • Has iron had enough time to preheat? • Is Adjustable Steam in the STEAM position? • ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in tank may discolor clothing and soleplate. • Choose correct temperature setting for your fabric. • Select a lower temperature setting. Allow iron to cool for 5 minutes before continuing. • If cord becomes twisted, turn iron OFF and unplug. Let cool. Empty any water from iron. Hold 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. • If all temperature selection buttons are blinking, unplug iron and then plug it back in. This should reset the display. If not, Call Customer Service (numbers on cover). 9
