Black and Decker D2030 Iron
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
- Use iron only for its intended use.
- To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
- The iron should always be turned to the minimum (min) setting before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
- Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away. Loop the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
- Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
- Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate toll-free number. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
- Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
- Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use the surge of steam – there may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
- The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
- The plug must be removed from the socket outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
- The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
- To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
- If an extension cord is necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

Black and Decker D2030 Iron-FAQs
How do I clean my Black+Decker D2030 iron?
Unplug and let the iron cool completely. Mix equal parts water and vinegar, dip a soft cloth into the solution, and wipe the exterior of the iron clean.

Yes. For dry ironing, set the SmartSteam™ dial to levels 1–3 or use high heat with an empty water tank. Press the steam burst button a few times to clear any remaining water.
Why isn’t my Black+Decker iron heating up?
If it doesn’t heat up on any setting, the temperature regulator may be faulty or damaged. This might require professional repair or replacement.

The red light flashes when the iron goes into standby mode after being left idle. To resume ironing, tilt or move the iron to reactivate heating.
How long does the iron take to heat up?
It usually takes about 2 minutes to fully heat. The “Wait” and “Ready” indicators will signal when it reaches the correct temperature.
How do I know when the iron is hot enough?
Look for the Ready light indicator. You can also wait about 2 minutes after powering it on for standard preheating.
Does the D2030 iron have automatic shutoff?
Yes. It features 3-way auto shutoff, which powers down the iron if left motionless on its heel, side, or soleplate for added safety.
What does a blinking red light on the charger mean?
