Problem Possible cause and solution

When the temperature dial 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 temperature dial to a lower temperature, e.g. 2, to

check if the iron produces steam.

The Auto Calc Clean process is activated. Wait for approximately 4 minutes

for the appliance to be ready for steam ironing.

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 supply hose has cooled

down and condensed into water. This causes water droplets to come out of

the soleplate. This happens sometimes 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.

The set temperature is too low for steam ironing. Set a temperature of 2

or higher.

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.

Steam may have condensed in the hose, the temperature may have been set

below 3 or the appliance may not be ready for steam ironing.

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.

The appliance produces

a pumping sound.

Water is pumped into the boiler inside the steam generator. This is normal.

However, if the pumping sound does not stop, switch off the appliance

immediately and unplug it. Contact an authorised Philips service centre.

Water leaks out of the

steam generator.

The Calc Clean tank has overowed during the Auto Calc Clean process.

Always empty the Calc Clean tank after the Calc Clean process. This prevents

the Calc Clean tank from overowing the next time the auto Calc Clean

process is performed.

The appliance

occasionally produces a

loud pumping noise and

clicking sound.

This happens during the Auto Calc Clean process. Water is pumped from

the water tank into the steam generator, and expelled into the Calc Clean

tank. Wait a few minutes for the appliance to complete the Auto Calc Clean

process. Empty the Calc Clean tank and then top up the water tank. The Auto

Calc Clean process is a normal process that is performed automatically at

regular intervals.

I cannot place the iron

on its heel.

To make the appliance more ergonomic, it has been designed in such a way

that the iron can only be put down horizontally. Place the iron horizontally on

the heat-resistant iron resting mat. The mat can be left on top of the steam

generator or you can place the mat on the ironing board. Do not place

the hot iron directly onto the ironing board without the heat-resistant iron

resting mat.
