Problem Cause Solution
The set ironing temperature is too low
for steam ironing.
Set a temperature of 2 or
higher.
You have set steam setting a (no
steam).
Set steam setting ECO, [
(moderate steam) or p
(maximum steam).
You have not placed the water
tank properly in the steam generator.
Place the water tank properly in
the steam generator (‘click’).
When the iron is set to a very high
temperature, the steam produced is dry
and hardly visible. It is even less visible
when the ambient temperature is
relatively high and it is entirely invisible
when the temperature is set to MAX.
Set the iron to a lower
temperature, e.g. 2, to check if
the iron actually produces steam.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
The set temperature is too low for
steam ironing.
Set a temperature of 2 or
higher.
When you start steam ironing and
when you stop steam ironing for a
while, the steam still present in the
supply hose cools down and condenses
into water. This causes water droplets to
come out of the soleplate.
This is normal. When you start
ironing or when you continue
ironing after an interruption, hold
the iron over an old cloth and
press the steam trigger. Wait until
steam instead of water comes out
of the soleplate.
Flakes and
impurities come
out of the
soleplate or the
soleplate is dirty.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited in the steam vents
and/or on the soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
The appliance
produces a
pumping sound.
Water is pumped into the steam
generator.
This is normal.
The pumping sound does not stop. Unplug the iron immediately and
contact an authorised Philips
service centre.
The iron
produces steam
continuously.
The steam lock has been set to ‘on’. Set the steam lock to ‘off’ if you
only want to obtain steam when
you press the steam trigger (see
section ‘Steam lock function’).
Dirty water
comes out of the
soleplate.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam generator.
Rinse the steam generator. See
chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
