Frequently Asked Questions - 14011 HAMILTON BEACH

How to descale my Hamilton Beach 14011 iron?

To descale, fill the tank with a mixture of half white vinegar and half water, heat the iron to full power and run the steam for a few minutes. Then rinse with clean water. Repeat if necessary.

What to do if steam does not come out?

First check the water level. If the tank is full, the anti-calc system may be clogged. Perform descaling. Also ensure the temperature is high enough (setting on cotton/linen).

The iron drips water, what to do?

Activate the anti-drip function if not already done. If the problem persists, the temperature may be too low; increase it. Check that the tank is not overfilled.

How to clean the stainless steel soleplate?

Wait for the iron to cool down, then rub the soleplate with a damp cloth and a little white vinegar or baking soda. For stubborn residues, use a special soleplate cleaner.

My iron smells like burning, is this normal?

A slight smell may occur during first use (burning of manufacturing residues). If the smell persists, check that the soleplate is not dirty or that no synthetic fabric has melted onto it.

How to use the vertical steam function?

Fill the tank, select a high temperature, hold the iron vertically and press the steam button. Iron hanging clothes by moving from top to bottom.

What does the flashing light mean?

The flashing light usually indicates that the iron is heating up (or has reached temperature). Consult the manual for specific codes. If the flashing is abnormal, it may indicate a fault.

Can I use tap water?

Yes, but if the water is very hard, prefer a mixture with demineralized water to prevent scaling. The built-in anti-calc system reduces deposits.

The cord is damaged, how to replace it?

Cord replacement must be done by an approved professional. Contact Hamilton Beach after-sales service to obtain a spare part and instructions.

My iron shuts off by itself, is this normal?

Yes, the auto shut-off is a safety feature. It activates after 30 seconds in horizontal position (iron inactive) and 8 minutes in vertical position. Lift the iron to reactivate it.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Only use an iron for its intended use.
5. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
6. Always turn the iron to OFF (O) before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
7. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
8. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
9. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

11. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

12. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.

13. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down—there might be hot water in the reservoir.
14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
15. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may damage that surface.

Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are being worn. Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.

Please Read Before First Use:

• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing; then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. Press the Blast of Steam button several times to clean the vents. Then follow the Self-Cleaning instructions on page 11.

Parts and Features

This iron is equipped with a position/motion sensor. This means that if the iron is left motionless it will turn off automatically and cool to room temperature.

To restart iron, simply move the iron and allow it to reheat on heel position.

The iron will reheat to the previously selected setting.

Position Sensing

The iron will turn off automatically when left in the following positions.

The auto off time varies based on the iron's position.

Iron	Position	Motionless Time
Resting on soleplate		30 seconds
Resting on either side		30 seconds or 15 minutes depending on exact orientation
