Problem Cause Solution
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 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.
’ERROR’ has
appeared on the
display and the iron
beeps continuously
A sensor failure has been detected. Contact an authorised Philips
service centre.
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.
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’.
The iron produces
steam continuously.
The steam lock is set to ‘on’ and you have
pressed the steam trigger once. The iron
then produces steam continuously until
you press the steam trigger again.
To stop the steam production, press
the steam trigger again. If you only
want the iron to produce steam
as long as you press the steam
trigger, set the steam lock function
to ‘off’ in the display menu. See
chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section
‘Steam lock function’.
Steam escapes from
under the Calc-
Clean rinsing cap
while the appliance
heats up.
You have not tightened the Calc-Clean
rinsing cap properly.
Switch off the appliance, tighten the
Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch
on the appliance again. If steam
continues to escape when the
appliance is heating up, switch off
the appliance and contact a service
centre authorised by Philips.
The iron does not
produce enough
steam/the amount
of steam decreases
and increases during
steam ironing.
When the appliance pumps water into
the steam generator, the steam amount
sometimes decreases. This is probably
when you think that the iron does not
produce enough steam. However, this is
a normal phenomenon and the steam
output normalises within a few seconds.
To optimise the steam output,
release the steam lock when you do
not need steam and when you put
down the iron.
