Problem
Flakes and
impurities
come out of
the soleplate
during
ironing.
The red
light flashes
(specific
types only).
The iron
makes a
humming
sound.
The
humming
sound stops,
although
the Ionic
DeepSteam
function is
on.
Possible cause
Hard water forms
flakes inside the
soleplate.
The automatic
shut-off function
has switched off the
iron (see chapter
'Features', section
'Automatic shut-off
function').
The Ionic
DeepSteam
function is on.
The sound stopped
because you placed
the iron on its heel.
Solution
Use the Calc-Clean function
one or more times (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance',
section 'Using the Calc-Clean
function').
Move the iron slightly to
deactivate the automatic shut-off
function. The red auto-off light
goes out.
If you hear the humming
sound when you iron without
steam, press the Ionic DeepSteam
button to switch off the Ionic
DeepSteam function. The Ionic
DeepSteam function has no effect
when you iron without steam.
The humming sound resumes as
soon as you continue to iron.
