Note: • Never use cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of the iron. Some odor may be released during initial use of the iron, however, this is normal and the odor will not attach to your clothes. Never use steam iron detergent in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of the iron. Q&A Question Why click sound or metallic sound be heard while using or shaking the iron? Why do the clothes sometimes become brown after being ironed? Why are there white powder/particles coming out of the steam vents while using the steam function (especially when using " power shot ")? Answer These sounds are made by the internal parts of the iron, spray mechanism, leakage prevention, etc., moving slightly. This is normal. If there is laundry detergent remaining on the fabric, the clothes may become brown after being ironed. The powder/particles are hydrophilic treatment or impurities and minerals found in hard water etc. These are not harmful and can be brushed off clothing. 14 Trouble shooting Specifications Problem No heating No steam Poor steaming power Causes, Solution Make sure the power plug is plugged into a 120V AC household outlet.
