I recently bought this iron and after several hours of usage, the clean message came on. I followed the instructions, but the clean message would not go out. What's up?

you have to unplug it for a few minutes while you turn the steam control to the 'clean' setting and let some water run through.1) heat up the iron2) unplug it3) hold it over a sink and hold the steam control to the 'clean' setting for a minute or two.4) plug it back in.The "clean" indicator should now be off.

Yes, you have to hold the dial on the Clean function. I have had mine for three years and I clean it as indicated. I push the "burst of steam" button on and off until all the water has been used up. It is still working like new.

I tried these instructions I found online and it worked for me:-Fill iron with water to max indicator-Turn iron on to heat level 7-Let heat up for 3 minutes-Unplug iron-Over a sink hold the iron horizontally.-Twist the steam dial to clean clockwise (I didn't know it could go back further, it has some sort of spring so you have to hold it)-Carefully hold as it spits out all of the steam and water.-Plug in for two minutes to dry iron.Indicator should clear!

I loved, loved, loved this iron. Right up to the point that the Clean message came on. I followed the instructions, but once I unplugged it after the Clean message appeared, it would never heat up again. I'm really bummed and totally on the fence as to whether to take it back and get another one or whether to get something else.

Clean it per the instructions using an 80% water 20% muriatic acid solution. Soak for 10 minutes. Rinse with fresh water. Mine did the same. I cleaned it and it works like new again.

It sounds like your boiler (reservoir) may be rusted. I am not sure how you would clean the reservoir. I would contact the company, if possible. I am surprised that this happened unless the iron is quite old and hadn't been used for quite a while. Good luck

I havent cleaned it yet-i am not sure there is any cleaning. It gets very hot and the steam gets through tough creases. I love this iton, i would be surprised if there is a better one!

I did not have anything like that. That may be metal shavings. I would brush it with a stiff brush.. tooth brush would work. Use a bit of dawn liquid detergent and water. Hold grates under running water, do not immerse it. Then dry with some paper towels. Always throw out first couple cookies, like directions states. If this doesn't help, I would exchange for a different one. When you make so many irons, you are bound to have a problem or two in manufacturing

It needs to be cleaned, pull out your book or check on line for descalimg your machine. I use white vinegar and water two times to get cleaned.

From page 6 of the owners manual:To clean plate, turn the unit off and unplugged from outlet. Next, pull ceramic What # is kiln prvplate out of the slot in the rear of the unit. Wash the stainless steel screen and ceramic plate using a spray cleaner or detergent. Scrub with a stiff brush. A spray liquid cleaner with ammonia or chlorine may also be used to remove any non-- visible adherence. Be careful not to drop the plate. Rinse plate thoroughly in hot water and dry completely before reinstalling. A hair dryer may be used to drive the plate more quickly.

I use a clothes iron on high and wrk around. Be sure not to scratch the LCD. It is close to the digitizer, don,t go to deep.

I always clean cast iron while its hot with water only and a brush. I also dry it with heat then oil it while warm. The key is to keep the moisture out. If you're storing you might want to put a heavier coat of oil on it and cover with paper towels.

I use the t up that came with the iron. I keep it clean by werring. it constantly in a wet sponge on my holder,and when I finish a session clean it off better. it still works for me. it should stand to re as son that the manufacturer would provide the recommeded tip.

To get past the "horribly wrinkled" stage, soak in water, wring or blot and then hang it up. Most irons have a low setting that works well for the finishing touches. When on vacation, I am usually satisfied with rinse-and-wear.

No, I wouldn't iron it! Shake them out and just use it. They go away over time, not sure how long, exactly. Mine is smooth now.

I heated my iron up and let it "burn in" when I first bought it and have never had any trouble. Perhaps you need to clean the irons really well, then wipe then with a really good, high temp oil and then try plugging in the iron for a while to season it before you use it to make pizzelle again.

Be sure you have reached the correct temperature for steam before using iron. And if this is not the issue I would contact manufacturer

My red light stays on all the time; it seems to just indicate that the iron is plugged in to a powered outlet. The backlight on the display is the indication on the on/off status of the iron. I have not notice Jamie's problem with the iron shutting off after 10 minutes - but admittedly I do not iron more that a couple of items at a time. Seems like you could turn it back on just by pressing the button under the display rather than unplugging and plugging.

Use a dryer sheet on the warm iron to clean the sole plate. It gets all the gunk out of the slots, any thing built up or stuck on the sole plate, makes it sparkle, is super easy and smells great!

I can only guess since I never heard of this problem. Check the iron that it is seated properly and held tight,m m
