Possible causes Solutions

automatically deactivated
after 15 minutes: the blue
light flashes then switches
off.
Your boiler has a build-up of
scale because it has not been
rinsed out regularly.
You are using chemical
descaling agents or additives
in the water for ironing.
Your linen is not rinsed
sufficiently or you have
ironed a new garment before
washing it.
You are ironing at too high
temperature.
You are using starch.
The water tank is empty (red
light flashes).
The water tank is not
correctly fitted into position.
The steam output control dial
is set at minimum.
The soleplate temperature is
set to the maximum.
When taking a break from
ironing, if your ironing board
cover is soaked with water it
is not suited to the power of
a steam generator.
You have not pressed the
"Restart" button.
The scale collector valve has
not been tightened correctly.
The scale collector valve is
damaged.
The generator is faulty.

This operation is completely normal. The Boost
function is designed to be used at specific times
(see § 6).
Rinse the collector when the "Calc-Away
System" indicator flashes. If your water is very
hard, rinse it more often.
Never add this type of product in the water tank
or in the boiler (see our recommendations
regarding water to be used).
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove any
soap deposits or chemicals on new garments
which may be sucked up by the iron.
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control settings.
Always spray starch on the reverse side of the
fabric to be ironed.
Fill the water tank and press the "Restart"
button on the control panel.
Push it into position until it "clicks" into place.
Increase the steam output (control dial on the
control panel).
The generator is working but steam is very hot
and dry. As a consequence, it is less visible.
Check that your ironing board is suitable. A
mesh type ironing board must be used to allow
any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam
venting sideways.
Check there is water in the water tank.
Press the "Restart" button on the control panel.
Tighten the scale collector after having let the
appliance cool for 2 hours.
