Q&A/TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Question Answer
Why can a clicking or a metallic sound
be heard while using or shaking the iron?
These sounds are made by the internal parts of the iron,
spray mechanism, leakage prevention, etc, moving
slightly. This is normal.
Why do the clothes sometimes become
brown after being ironed?
Set the temperature correctly according to the fabric being
ironed. If there is cleaning residue remaining on the fabric,
the clothes may 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 Jet of Steam)?
The powder/particles are impurities and minerals found
in hard water. The powder/particles can be brushed off
clothing.
