there is still water in the
water tank.
You have used the steam

within a very short
period.
The iron is not hot
enough.
Solution
Set the temperature dial to a temperature
suitable for steam ironing ( 2 to MAX).
Put the iron on its heel and wait until the
temperature light goes out before you start
ironing.
Fill the water tank (see chapter 'Preparing
for use').
Use the Calc-Clean function one or more
times (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
Pick up the iron or move it slightly to
deactivate the automatic shut-off function.
The automatic shut-off light goes out.
Empty the water tank and set the steam
control to position O before you store the
iron (see chapter 'Storage'). Store the iron
