Problem Possible cause Solution
Water spots appear
on the garment
during use of
the steam boost
function.
The water spots on your garment are due
to condensation in the supply hose. When
the supply hose cooled down, the steam
that was still present in the hose cooled
down and condensed into water.
The water droplets stop coming
out of the appliance when you have
used the steam boost function for
some time.
Flakes 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
and/or on the soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam generator.
Rinse the steam generator
frequently (see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
The steam supply
hose is warm
during ironing.
This is normal as steam passes through
the steam supply hose during steam
ironing.
Place the steam supply hose on the
opposite side of the ironing board in
such a way that your hand does not
touch the hose during ironing.
I cannot put the
iron on its heel.
The iron cannot be put on its heel
because it has an ergonomic design that
reduces strain on your wrist (see chapter
‘Introduction’).
Place the iron horizontally on the
heat-resistant iron resting mat.
