You have to press the button. It's above the "on" button. Press it until u have your desired heat setting.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

Hello Sheila M: There is no such "89" reading on mine. The readings are as follows: 300, 340, 375, 410, 450. So, it looks like you need to have RUSK check it out.And, by-the-way, due to using the higher heat range, repeatedly, e.g. 410-450, to get my hair to cooperate, I ending up loosing some sections, as they ended up damaged and broke. So, use an excellent heat protector, and be brief if using the highest heat range(s). They (410-450) are best for str8enting THICK hair sections. Happy str8enging!

It usually heats up under a minute. If you increase the heat and the display doesn't go up, you most likely have a defective unit.

Are you hitting the + button until it reaches your desired heat temperature? If nothing happens, return it!

set your iron to the low end of synthetic- cool to slightly warm. This is a cheap poly synthetic, with a low melting point. good luck!

You are suppose to Cook at not higher than 500 dégrees with the sheet. So it could be the problem.Retry it againat this temp. Hope this is helpfulEdmonde

Have the Rowenta Advancer... circuitry went out, they replaced it under warantee (took 2 months)... Now 3 months into the replacement iron, the circuitry went out. Sent it for repair to the place rowenta told me to send it. Got it back after a month. Still doesn't heat up properly, lights don't work right and today I find that the water has completely leaked out all over my ironing board. Anyone have a good suggestion for my next iron? I won't go with the rowenta again!!

Nope... You're not missing anything. It should heat up, and do so quickly. I suspect that your ceramic heating element has broken. I'd either swap it out with the spare, or contact the manufacturer. Good luck.

I put a towel over mine a steamed it with the iron. Try it with a color you probably won't use 1st that's what I did.

You must have a bad one. Mine does not. Actually this is by far the best Iron I have ever used. Send them a note.

If the outlet works and the pot does not heat up, return it. It appears to be broken. Even when the temperature dial is turned to the lowest position, you should feel the metal plate on the bottom of the pot immediately start to heat up once the pot is plugged in.

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?

same thing. I had the iron for about one year when it quit working. I just called Rowenta customer support and they told me model no dz9080 was manufactured in 2006 and is not repairable. And it is out of warranty. I paid close to $200 and it lasted for one year. It's junk. Don't buy it and throw it away if you have a broken one because it is not repairable.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

I'm sure you've tried filling it, just be sure you fill it long enough to remove most of the air. You may have to drain it and refill if the fuel was poor quality. To fill to capacity takes a good 45-60 seconds. It should essentially fire up at any setting. Make sure the glow hole is facing you so you can see it light. There is no flame when the iron is running. I had the same problem after I stored it for a long time. Good Luck

Honestly, no idea. It gets hot though...not enough to burn clothes, which was an issue with another previous iron I had. Hope this helps.

I am having the same problem...brought it back 3x without success...also temp guage not working properly either

did you turn up the dial to maximum heating temp?.sometimes it gets turned down by error. IF it is all the way up...check the electric going to the heater...(that it is on) IF good..they it burned out....get a new one...

Make sure you hold it down for a minute before you release it, so it will heat up the element. If that isn't it, I have no idea. May be defective.

Yes, I too faced this problem with my Black & Decker iron. The model is Quick 'N Easy 460. I thought it is the mineral deposits from the water being steamed and is quite irritating, but has happened only recently.
