the information below, contact the Customer Care Centre in your country.

Problem Cause Solution

The appliance does

not become hot.

There is a connection problem. Check the mains cord, the plug and

the wall socket.

You have not switched on the appliance. Press the on/off button.

The set temperature is too low. Set a higher temperature.

Smoke comes out

of my new iron

when I switch it on.

Some parts of the appliance have been

lightly greased in the factory and may

initially give off some smoke when heated.

This phenomenon is normal and

ceases after a short while.

The iron does not

produce any steam.

There is not enough water in the water

tank.

Fill the water tank. See chapter

‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Filling the

detachable water tank’.

The steam generator has not heated up

sufciently.

Wait approx. 2 minutes until the

steam light stays on continuously.

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 ] (minimum

steam), [ (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.
