Solution
You have not
closed the cap of
the filling opening
properly.
Press the cap until you hear a
click.
Flakes and
impurities
come out of
the soleplate
during ironing.
Hard water forms
flakes inside the
soleplate.
Use the Calc-Clean function one
or more times (see chapter
‘Cleaning and maintenance’,
section ‘Calc-Clean function’).
The
temperature
light flashes
red (specific
types only).
The
automatic shut-off
function has
switched off the
iron (see chapter
‘Features’).
Move the iron slightly to
deactivate the automatic shut-off
function. The red auto-off
indication of the temperature
light goes out.
Water drips
from the
soleplate after
the iron has
cooled down
or has been
stored
(specific types
only)
You have put the
iron in horizontal
position while
there was still
water in the
water tank.
Always set the steam control to
position 0 and empty the water
tank after use. Store the iron on
its heel.
The iron does
not produce a
steam boost.
You used the
steam boost
function too often
within a short
period.
Continue ironing in horizontal
position and wait a while before
you use the steam boost function
again..
