- Allow the iron a few minutes to heat up. It may take some time to reach the desired temperature.
Problem: The iron is leaking water.
Solution:
- Check that the water reservoir is not overfilled. Fill it only up to the maximum fill line.

- Ensure that the iron is at the correct temperature for steam to be generated. Some irons require a higher temperature setting for steam.
Problem: The retractable cord is not working.
Solution:
- Check for any obstructions or tangles in the cord that may be preventing it from retracting. Carefully untangle any knots or blockages.
- Ensure that the cord is not damaged or frayed. If it is, it may need to be replaced.
- Gently pull the cord out a bit and then allow it to retract. Sometimes, it can get stuck, and this can help release it.

Problem: The iron is producing a burning smell or smoke.
Solution:
- Turn off the iron immediately and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
