and the socket.
• Switch the main power button (9) to
the on position.(“I”)
The iron does not
heat up.

switched on.

to the “min” position.

the on position.(“I”)
• Set the temperature control knob
(11) to the desired position.
The iron begins to
smoke when switched
on.
• During first use: Certain
components on the appliance have
been lightly greased at the factory
and may produce a little smoke
when initially heated.
• During later use: the soleplate may
be soiled.
• This is completely normal and will
stop after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
Water flows through
the holes on the sole
plate.
• The steam function is being used
before it has reached temperature.
• The water is condensing inside the
pipes because steam is being used
for the first time or has not been
used for a long time.
• Reduce the steam flow when ironing
at low temperatures (Variable steam
control (8*)).
• Point the iron away from the ironing
area and press the steam release
button (12) until steam is produced.
Dirt comes out
through the sole plate.
• There is a build-up of scale or
minerals in the boiler.
• Chemical products or additives have
been used.
• Clean the boiler
Use tap water mixed 50% with
distilled or demineralised water. If
the tap water in your district is very
hard, mix tap water with distilled
water 1:2.
• Clean the sole plate with a damp
cloth.
• Never add products to the boiler
The iron does not
produce any steam.
• The boiler is not switched on or is
empty.
• The steam regulator is set to the
minimum position.
• Switch the main power button (9) to
the on position.(“I”) and/or fill the
boiler
• Increase the steam flow by turning
the steam control (8*).
The ironed garment
turns dark and/or
sticks to the soleplate.
• The selected temperature is too
high and has damaged the garment.
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material and clean the sole plate
with a damp cloth.
The soleplate turns
brown.
• This is a regular consequence of
usage.
• Clean the soleplate regularly with a
damp cloth.
Loss of pressure
during ironing.
Steam release button activated
during a long period of time.
Use the steam release button (12)
with intervals. This improves the
ironing result as the textiles will be
dried and stay smooth better.
If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with authorized technical service.
