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.
