Solution
DO NOT use 100% pure distilled water,
use tap water. In very hard water areas
mix helf tap water with half distilled to
reduce hardness; or use inexpersive
bottled spring water.
Most softened water is alright, but if you
experience leaks or spitting, change to
untreated tap water or inexpensive
bottled spring water. DO NOT use
100% distilled water.
Move iron or gently shake.
Allow more time between each burst.
Check plug is in socket.
Turn thermostat higher.
Move iron or gently shake.
The light goes on and off showing the
thermostat is switching the heat on and
off to maintain the correct temperature.
If the iron is not hot enough the anti-drip
system will activate and stop the iron's
steam production. Set thermostat to
higher position. Always allow iron suf-
ficient time to heat up (indicator light
goes out) before activating the variable
steam control.
If iron is fitted with a variable steam
control, turn it to a higher setting.
Move variable steam control from min to
max several times to clear blockage.
