    Surface rust? On what? Pictures of the rust so we can see the location would help.

    I'm assuming a probe type LWCO, if so being sideways shouldn't impact function, just looks off.

    hi thanks i will try to get photos , i did speak with crown they said it is normal and that they season the iron ???
    but the photos may be hard to get. Can be seen only through small opening. If I had to describe it, it's like a lit dusting on about half the body of the boiler and can be seen again lightly on tap outs, such as pressure valve opening, and drain opening

    "this iron has been 'seasoned' with a sprinkling of rust-colored seasoning for your protection!"
