Trouble shooting
Problem Possible causes Solution
The steam
generator does not
come on.
• There is a connection problem.
• The main power button is not switched
on.
• Check the mains cable, the plug and
the socket.
• Set the main power button (8) to the
“I” position.

The iron begins
to smoke when
switched on.
• During first use: Certain components on
the appliance have been lightly greased
at the factory and may produce a little
smoke when initially heated.
• During later use: the soleplate may be
soiled.
• This is completely normal and will
stop after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
Water flows
through the holes
on the sole plate.
• The steam function is being used before it
has reached temperature.
• The water is condensing inside the pipes
because steam is being used for the first
time or has not been used for a long time.
• Reduce the steam flow when ironing
at low temperatures (Variable steam
control (5)).
• Point the iron away from the ironing
area and press the steam release
button (15) until steam is produced.
Intelligent steam
(depending on the model)
This system has intelligent steam control, which,
after releasing the steam release button (15),
provides a small amount of additional steam.
The additional steam can always be stopped by briefly
pressing the steam release button once again.
Auto shutsoff
(depending on the model)
If during ironing the steam release button (15) on
the handle of the iron is not pressed for a certain
length of time (8 minutes), the steam station will
automatically switch off.
The “Auto shutboff” pilot lamp (4) will flash when
auto shutboff has been activated.
To switch the steam station back on, press the
steam release button again, and wait until the “Auto
shutboff” pilot lamp remains lit continuously.
