Solution
Fill the water tank (see chapter
'Using the appliance', section
'Filling the water tank').
Set the steam control to the
small cloud or large cloud (see
chapter 'Using the appliance,
section 'Selecting temperature
and steam setting').
Put the iron on its heel or
continue ironing in horizontal
position and wait a while before
you use the steam boost
function again.
Set an ironing temperature at
which the steam boost function
can be used ( 3 to MAX).
Put the iron on its heel and wait
until the temperature light goes
out before you use the steam
boost function.
Use the Calc-Clean function
one or more times (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance',
section 'Calc-Clean function').
