Problem Possible causes Solution
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.
• The steam generator contains too
much scale.
• Reduce the steam flow when ironing
at low temperatures (Variable steam
control (11*)).
• Point the iron away from the ironing
area and press the steam release
button until steam is produced.
• Clean the boiler as described in
section “Calc‘n clean” (E).
Dirt comes out
through the sole
plate.
• There is a build-up of scale or
minerals in the steam tank.
• Chemical products or additives
have been used.
• Use tap water mixed 50% with dis tilled
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 water.
The iron does not
produce any steam.
• The boiler is not switched on or
the water tank is empty.
• The steam regulator is set to the
minimum position.
• Set the main power button (13) to the
“I” position and/or fill the water tank.
• Increase the steam flow by turning the
steam control (11*).
The ironed gar ment
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 being 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.
The appliance
makes a pumping
sound.
• Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• The sound will not stop.
• This is normal.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Loss of pressure
during ironing.
• Steam release button activated
during a long period of time.
• Use the steam release button with
intervals. This improves the ironing
result as the textiles will be dried and
stay smooth better.
Waterspots appear
on the garment
during ironing.
• May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing board.
• Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron the spots without
steam to dry them.
Water spots appear
on the garment
during use of the
“Pulse steam”
function
• Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when
cooling down after use.
• Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the “Pulse steam”
function for some time.
The hose gets hot
during use.
• This is normal. It is caused by the
steam passing throug the hose
during steam ironing.
• Place the hose on the opposite side so
that you can not touch the hose during
ironing
Water leakage from
the boiler.
• Drainage plug located at the
bottom of the appliance is loose.
• Tighten up boiler drainage plug with a
coin
The iron does not
stop steaming after
placing it on the pad.
• “Pulse steam” function activated
by double click.
• Just press the trigger once again and
the iron will stop steaming at once.
If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with authorized technical service.
