Problem Possible cause Solution

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

Some smoke

comes out of the

appliance after I

have switched it on

for the rst time.

This is normal. Some parts of the

appliance have been greased lightly in the

factory.

This phenomenon ceases after a

short while.

The appliance

produces a

pumping sound.

Water is pumped into the boiler inside

the steam generator.This is normal

If the pumping sound continues

non-stop, switch off the appliance

immediately and unplug it. Contact

an authorised Philips service centre.

The appliance does

not produce any

steam.

There is not enough water in the water

tank.

Fill the water tank.

The steam generator is not hot enough to

produce steam.

Wait until the steam setting light

stays on.

You are not pressing the steam trigger. Press the steam trigger and keep it

pressed while you steam iron.

The water tank is not placed properly in

the appliance.

Slide the water tank rmly back into

the steam generator (‘click’).

Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam

is hardly visible, especially when the

temperature dial is set to maximum

position and even less so when the

ambient temperature is relatively high.

To check if the iron really produces

steam, set the iron to a lower

temperature setting between

2 and 3 for more visible steam.

The appliance is not switched on. Set the power knob with steam

control to a steam setting.

Water droplets

come out of the

soleplate.

When you start steam ironing and

when you continue steam ironing after

an interruption, the steam that was still

present in the hose has cooled down and

condensed into water. This causes water

droplets to come out of the soleplate.

This is normal. Hold the iron over an

old cloth and press the steam trigger.

The cloth absorbs the drops. After a

few seconds, steam instead of water

comes out of the soleplate.

The temperature dial is set to a

temperature that is too low for steam

ironing.

Set an ironing temperature that

is suitable for steam ironing

(temperature settings 2 to MAX).

Wet spots appear

on the garment

during ironing.

The wet spots that appear on your

garment after you have steam ironed for

some time may be caused by steam that

has condensed onto the ironing board.

Iron the wet spots without steam

for some time to dry them. If the

underside of the ironing board is wet,

wipe it dry with a piece of dry cloth.

Water leaks from

the appliance.

If you tilt the steam generator during

transport or place it on an uneven surface

when the water tank is full, water may spill

out of the water tank.

Do not tilt the appliance when the

water tank is full.
