Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Wet spots appear
on the garment
during ironing.
The wet spots that appear on your
garment after you have steam ironed
for some time may be caused by
steam that has condensed onto the
ironing board.
Iron the wet spots without steam
for some time to dry them. If the
underside of the ironing board is
wet, wipe it dry with a piece of dry
cloth.
Water leaks from
the appliance.
If you tilt the steam generator during
transport or place it on an uneven
surface when the water tank is full,
water may spill out of the water tank.
Do not tilt the appliance when the
water tank is full.
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.
