Troubleshooting

Iron not heating up.

Check the power cord and outlet. Make sure the iron is plugged in securely and the outlet is working. Also, check the temperature setting and ensure it's appropriate for the fabric.

Iron is leaking water.

Ensure the water tank is not overfilled. Check that the temperature setting is high enough for steam production. If the iron is still leaking, it might need descaling.

Steam production is weak or inconsistent.

Check the water tank level. Clean the steam vents on the soleplate. Descale the iron using the self-cleaning function or by removing the scale collector.

Iron is leaving brown stains on clothes.

Clean the soleplate. Make sure the temperature setting is not too high for the fabric. Use filtered water to prevent mineral deposits.

The iron is not producing any steam.

Make sure the iron is heated to the correct temperature for steam. Check that there is water in the tank and the steam setting is turned on. Descale the iron if necessary.
