Question
Why doesn't any
steam come out of
the iron?
Answer
There may be a connection problem. Check the mains cord, the
plug and the wall socket.
The temperature dial may be set to MIN. Set the temperature
dial to the required position.
The cap of the filling opening may not be closed properly. Press
the cap until you hear a click.
You may have poured an additive into the water tank. Rinse the
water tank and do not put any additive in the water tank.
The iron may not be hot enough for steam ironing. Set the
temperature dial to a temperature suitable for steam ironing ( 2
to MAX). Put the iron on its heel and wait until the amber
temperature light goes out.
Hard water forms flakes inside the soleplate. Use the Calc-Clean
function one or more times (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
The safety shut-off function may have switched off the iron (see
chapter 'Features'). Move the iron slightly to deactivate the safety
shut-off function. The red light goes out.
You may have put the iron in horizontal position with water still
left in the water tank. Empty the water tank and set the steam
control to position 0 after use. Store the iron on its heel.
Answer
There may not be enough water in the water tank. Fill the water tank
(see chapter 'Preparing for use').
The steam control may be set to position 0. Set the steam control to a
position between 1 and 4 (see chapter 'Using the appliance').
