If your steam generator does not work, check the following
points:
Has the iron temperature control been set to the required
temperature? Is the plug in its socket? Is the plug itself or
the socket faulty? (Check by plugging in another appliance).
•
To prevent damage to the textile being ironed, follow the
temperature guide carefully. (Test on the inside of the hem
of the garment).

If you drop or severely knock your steam generator, this
could cause internal damage even if the outside appears
alright. Have it checked by a qualified electrician.
