Philips PerfectCare Xpress Fer vapeur haute pression - Manual (Page 18)

Problem Possible cause Solution
Dirty water 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 or on the soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
The iron leaves a shine
or an imprint on the
garment.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because you
ironed over a seam or a fold in the
garment.
The iron is safe to use on all garments.
The shine or imprint is not permanent
and disappears when you wash the
garment. Avoid ironing over seams or
folds. You can also place a cotton cloth
over the area to be ironed to avoid
imprints.
The iron produces a
pumping sound.
Water is being pumped into the
steam chamber. This is normal.
If the pumping sound continues nonstop,
unplug the iron and contact the
Consumer Care Centre.
The iron produces a
loud pumping noise.
There is no water in the water tank. Fill the water tank (see chapter ‘Using
the appliance’, section ‘Filling the water
tank’).
The iron steams
continuously when
placed horizontally on
the ironing board for
20-30 seconds.
The ironing board did not provide a
good flat support and this activated
the Auto Steam Sensor in the iron.
Place the iron on its heel when you are
not ironing to prevent this problem.
