Problem Possible causes Solution
Dirt comes out through
the soleplate. • There is a build up of scale or
minerals in the steam tank.
• Chemical products or additives
have been used.
• Use tap water mixed 50% with distilled
or demineralised water. To prolong the
optimum steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water
in your district is very hard, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:2.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
• Never add products to the water.
The iron does not
produce any steam. • The boiler is not switched on or
the water tank is empty.
• The steam regulation is set to the
minimum position.
• Set the main power button (9) to the “I”
position (illuminated in red), and/or fill
the water tank.
• Increase the steam flow (see section
C).
The ironed garment turns
dark and/or sticks to the
soleplate. • The selected temperature is
too high and has damaged the
garment.
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
The soleplate turns
brown. • This is a regular consequence of
continued use over a long period
of time.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
The appliance makes a
pumping sound. • Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• Water tank (1) is not correctly
inserted in the housing.
• The sound will not stop.
• This is normal.
• Adjust the water tank to fit correctly.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Loss of pressure during
ironing. Steam release button has been
activated for too long a period of
time, that is, it has been pressed
too frequently. Use the steam release button at intervals.
This improves the ironing result as the
textiles will be steamed, dried and ironed
properly.
Water spots appear
on the garment during
ironing. May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing board. Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron any water drops to dry
them.
Water spots appear on
the garment during use
of the “pulseSteam”
function. Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when
cooling down after use. Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the “pulseSteam”
function for some time.
The hose gets hot during
use. This is normal. It is caused by the
steam passing through the hose
during steam ironing. Place the hose on the opposite side so
that you cannot touch the hose during
ironing.
Water leakage from the
boiler. Filter (12) located at the side of the
appliance is loose. Tighten up the filter.
The iron does not stop
steaming after placing it
on the pad (2). “pulseSteam” function has been
activated by double click. Just press the trigger once again and the
iron will stop steaming at once.
If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with an authorised technical service.
