Troubleshooting
My Philips Garment steamer does not
produce steam
When your Philips Garment Steamer (handheld or stand steamer) does not produce steam, there
could be several causes. Learn more here.
First time use
The first time you use your garment steamer, it might not produce steam right away as there is no
water in the system yet. Do not worry. This is normal and will only happen the first time you use
it.
Please press the steam trigger for one minute. This will promote water circulation and the
production of steam.
The steamer has not heated up sufficiently
Your garment steamer requires heating before steaming. Please allow it to heat up for 45 to 60
seconds before using it (the steam-ready blue light will flash).
When the steamer has heated up and is ready for use, the blue light will stop flashing.
There is no water (or low water level) in the tank
If the tank is empty, your Philips Garment Steamer will not be able to produce steam.
Please refill the water tank.
The water tank is not inserted properly
