How do I dismantle the handle assembley so I can
I've just done this 20 minutes ago.Just between the 0-1-2 lever and the 0-1-2 script is a plastic catch (both sides)Slide a medium screwdriver into the gap at this point, pushing hard and levering up.This should just free the catch.Do the same the other side and then lever the handle up. It will only go up about 1/2 inch.Now go to the very front of the handle and do the same thing, both sides.You should now be able to lever the top end of the front piece of handle past the middle piece that you levered up first, and then it will come off, revealing the front screw. Its made a bit more difficult because of the water jet, but comes off with a bit of a wriggle.When you put this piece back on take care to get the water input spout into the tube before you push down too hard. (My problem was a main power connector had burned out causing a short circuit and blowing the house circuit breaker. I soldered the connection and it seems to be working OK)Richard
Bosch gas range error code F11
Disconnect the ribbon from the control panel and clean it using pencil eraser. then carefully reconnect it. If the F11 is still there most likely it's the control panel.God bless you
Why does the engine light start flashing when i brak
stop immediately, call AAA for a tow to your mechanic.Generally a flashing "Check Engine" light requires immediate attention to avoid possibly very expensive engine damage.If you have a friend like me locally who has a OBD Engine analyzer, you get the error codes, translate the code for free and fix it yourself if you have the skills. I got my Innova Brand at WalMart for $120 in Hawaii. Mechanics will charge $100 to hook up the analyzer, plus $60/hr minimum service fee.
Does not heat up
Visual Check:1. Do you smell burned electrical wire? If none, 2. Check the cord for damage, and the outlet for electricity ((plug in another device and see if it turns on)). If none, 3. Does the water reservoir or iron face have visible mineral deposits (i.e. need cleaning)?Possible solutions: 1. On COLD, UNPLUGGED iron, clean working surface with non-abrasive cloth.2. Try Vinegar & Water cleaning to remove mineral deposits (if warranty allows): Mix equal parts water and white vinegar (abt. 1/3 cup each).Pour into water reservoir. Turn on the iron with steam option. Allow to work, upright, for 2-3 minutes. Turn all controls to low before unplugging. Drain into sink ...carefully, it may be hot! Flush with plain water.Reheat iron and test on scrap cloth to clear any residue.BE SAFE and work carefully. If iron still does not heat after thorough inspection and cleaning, the unit may need a qualified technician.

Owners manual
Things to try:1. Fill iron with tap water ... distilled water may cause leakage. 1a. If you have very hard water, dilute with 50% distilled. 2. Fill the iron while upright, then allow to fully heat before using.3. Use higher steam setting ... lower settings can cause leakage.4. Allow your iron to "recover" (i.e. build up steam) if you have a spray or "steam burst" button. Trying to use it too rapidly can cause leakage.Be sure to clean your iron according to your manufacturer's directions. Chances are, that means using a vinegar-water solution to break up any mineral deposits. You can find a helpful video, here: http://laundry.about.com/od/productreviews/qt/vincleaniron.htmSAFETY FIRST. Try not to work on a hot iron, or one that is plugged in to a power outlet. Water and electricity do not play well together.
