Problem Cause Solution

The iron has not been switched on. Make sure the iron switch is set

to ‘on’.

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 perfectly

normal and will cease after a

short while.

The iron does

not produce any

steam.

The steam tank and/or the iron may not

be switched on.

Set both the iron switch and the

steam tank switch to ‘on’.

There is not enough water in the water

tank.

Fill the water tank (see chapter

‘Preparing for use’).

The steam tank has not heated up

sufciently.

Wait for 6 to 8 minutes for the

steam tank to heat up.

The selected ironing temperature is too

low for steam ironing.

Select a temperature of

2 or

higher.

When the iron has been set to a very

high temperature, the steam produced is

dry and hardly visible. It will be even less

visible when the ambient temperature is

relatively high and it will be entirely

invisible when the temperature has been

set to MAX.

Set the iron to a lower

temperature, e.g.

2, to check if

the iron is actually producing

steam.

Water droplets

come out of the

soleplate.

The temperature dial may be set to a

temperature that is too low for steam

ironing.

Select an ironing temperature

that is suitable for steam ironing

(temperature settings 2 to

MAX).

You may not have switched on the iron. Set the iron switch to ‘on’ and

wait until the iron is hot.

You may have placed the steam tank on

an unstable and/or uneven surface.

Place the steam tank on a stable

and even surface.

When you start steam ironing and when

you have stopped steam ironing for a

while, the steam that was still present in

the supply hose will have cooled down

and condensed into water, which causes

water droplets to come out of the

soleplate.

This is perfectly normal. Hold the

iron over an old cloth and press

the steam activator. The cloth

absorbs the drops. After a few

seconds, the steam production

normalises.

Water droplets

come out of the

soleplate when I

use the steam

boost function

(GC6360 only).

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.

Make sure the temperature is set

3 or higher. Steam iron for

a few seconds before you use the

steam boost function.
