Problem Cause Solution

When you start steam ironing, the

hose is cold. Steam condenses in the

hose, causing droplets of water to

escape from 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, the steam production

becomes normal.

The appliance

does not

produce any

steam.

The appliance is not switched on. Set the on/off switch to ‘I’

The steam tank is not hot enough to

produce steam.

Wait 6 minutes for the steam tank

to heat up.

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

pressed while you steam iron.

There is not enough water in the

steam tank.

Fill the steam tank. See chapter

‘Preparing for use - Filling the Steam

tank’.

No steam comes

out of the

soleplate.

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, hold a (cold) mirror in front

of the soleplate vents.

The soleplate is

dirty.

Impurities or chemicals present in the

water have deposited on the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp

cloth.

You have been ironing at too high

temperatures.

Clean the soleplate with a damp

cloth. Set the iron to the required

ironing temperature (see chapter

‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting

the temperature’).

Steam escapes

from the lling

hole area during

ironing.

You may not have tightened the steam

tank cap properly or you have spilled

some water around the lling hole

Switch off the appliance and let it

cool down. Remove the steam tank

cap, wipe away the water round the

lling hole and tighten the steam

tank cap again. Then switch on the

appliance again.

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.

To prevent steam from condensing

onto the ironing board, use an

ironing board with a wire mesh top.
