Philips GC7717/80 - Manual (Page 9)

Problem Possible cause Solution
The appliance has
switched off.
The safety auto-off function was
activated. This happens
automatically when the steam
generator has not been used or
the steam trigger has not been
pressed for more than
15 minutes.
Set the on/off switch to ‘off’ position and
then to ‘on’ position.
The appliance
produces a loud
pumping sound.
The water tank is empty. Fill the water tank with water and press
the steam trigger until the pumping
sound becomes softer and steam comes
out of the soleplate.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
After the Calc-Clean process,
remaining water may drip out of
the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate dry with a piece of
cloth. If the Calc-Clean light still flashes
and the appliance still beeps, perform the
Calc-Clean process (see chapter
‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and
maintenance’).
The Calc-Clean process has not
been completed.
You have to perform the Calc-Clean
process again (see chapter ‘IMPORTANT
- Cleaning and maintenance’).
Dirty water and
impurities come
out of the
soleplate.
Impurities or chemicals present
in the water have deposited in
the steam vents and/or soleplate.
Perform the Calc-Clean process regularly
(see chapter ‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning
and maintenance’).
Water flushes out
of the soleplate.
You have accidentally started the
Calc-Clean process (see chapter
‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and
maintenance’).
Switch off the appliance. Then switch it
back on again. Turn the temperature dial
to the desired temperature setting
instead of CÁLC CLEAN. Let the iron
heat up until the ‘iron ready’ light lights up
steadily.
The Calc-Clean
process does not
start.
You have not set the
temperature dial to Calc-Clean
or you have not waited for the
iron to heat up.
See chapter ‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and
maintenance’.
You have not pressed the Calc-
Clean button for 2 seconds until
the appliance started beeping.
See chapter ‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and
maintenance’.
There are water
droplets visible in
the appliance
when I detach the
water tank.
Water comes from the water
path between the water tank
and stand. This is normal.
These water droplets are harmless. If you
want, you can wipe away the water
droplets with a dry cloth.
