Do s Always switch off, unplug from mains and allow the iron to cool down before carrying out any maintenance or troubleshooting. Always stand the iron in the upright position between uses and keep the iron moving whilst in use. Leaving the soleplate in contact with any surface for an extended period of time will cause damage. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable. Always use the iron on a heat resistant, stable, level surface. Always unplug the iron from the mains before the water tank is filled with water. Always fill the water tank with water only. Never add perfume, descaler or products containing alcohol.

8 What to do if it goes wrong Getting in touch Problem Solution The iron has no power. The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket. Check the fuse in the plug. If this needs replacing, always use a British 13amp fuse. Why is the iron not producing steam? There may be no water in water tank, fill the water tank. The temperature control dial or steam control has not been set to the appropriate settings. Go to Preparing for use. The iron has a build up of limescale, Go to Cleaning and maintenance self clean. Why is the steam boost not working? The steam boost button has been pressed too often within a short period. Continue ironing in a horizontal position, after a short period of time use the boost button again. The temperature control dial has not been set at a temperature the steam boost function can be used ( to Max). Stand the iron in the upright position, adjust the control dial and wait for the heating indicator light to go out before using the steam boost. Why is the spray burst not working? The water tank is not full enough. Unplug the iron from the mains and add water to the water tank. Water is leaking from the iron. The water fill cover is not correctly closed. Close the water fill cover. The steam boost button has been pressed with the control dial set at the incorrect temperature. The steam boost function can be used ( to Max). Excessive use of the steam burst button can reduce the temperature of the soleplate temporarily meaning that it will need to heat up again. If this happens the water may potentially pool in the boiler. Registration required. Terms and conditions apply, see vax.co.uk for details. * Calls are charged at the UK local rate.
