SOLUTIONS
Check that your ironing board is suitable.
We recommend using a mesh type ironing
board to allow excess steam to escape and
to avoid steam venting sideways.
Rinse the collector (see § descaling your
steam generator).
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
Never add this type of product in the
water tank or in the boiler (see the page
for what water may be used). Contact an
Approved Service Centre.
Clean the soleplate with a non-metallic
sponge.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove
any soap deposits or chemicals on new
garments which may be sucked up by the iron.
Always spray starch on the reverse side of
the fabric to be ironed.
Fill the water tank.
Increase the steam output (control dial
on the control panel).
The steam generator operates normally
but the steam is very hot and dry, and
hard to see.
Tighten the collector.
