Problem

Possible cause

Solution

You may have an ironing

board cover that is not

designed to cope with

the high steam rate of the

steam generator.

Put an extra layer of felt material under

the ironing board cover to prevent

condensation on the ironing board. You

can buy felt in a fabric shop.

Water droplets

come out of

the soleplate.

The steam that was still

present in the hose has

cooled down and con-

densed into water. This

causes water droplets to

come out of the soleplate.

Point the steam flow away from the

garment for a few seconds.

Steam and/or

water escapes

from under

the EASY DE-

CALC knob.

The EASY DE-CALC

knob is not tightened

properly.

Switch off the steam generator and

wait for 2 hours for it to cool down.

Unscrew the EASY DE-CALC knob

and screw it back onto the steam

generator properly. Note: Some water

will escape when you remove the knob.

The rubber sealing ring of

the EASY DE-CALC knob

is worn.

Contact an authorised Philips service

centre for a new EASY DE-CALC

knob.

Too much scale and min-

erals have accumulated

inside the steam genera-

tor.

Descale the steam generator regularly

(see chapter ‘IMPORTANT-DESCAL-

ING’).

The iron leaves

a shine or an

imprint on the

garment.

The surface to be ironed

was uneven, for instance

because you were ironing

over a seam or a fold in

the garment.

Perfect Care is safe on all garments. The

shine or imprint is not permanent and

will come off if you wash the garment.

Avoid ironing over seams or folds or

you can place a cotton cloth over the

area to be ironed to avoid imprints at

seams and folds.

The steam

generator does

not produce

any steam.

There is not enough wa-

ter in the water tank (the

‘water tank empty’ light

flashes quickly ).

Fill the water tank (see chapter ‘Using

your steam generator’, section ‘Filling

the water tank’).

The steam generator is

not hot enough to pro-

duce steam.

Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light on the

iron lights up continuously.

You did not press the

steam trigger.

Press the steam trigger and keep it

pressed while you steam iron.
