Problem
The light of the CALC-CLEAN
button flashes and the
appliance beeps.
No steam comes out of the
soleplate, the light of the
CALC-CLEAN button flashes
and the appliance beeps.
The appliance has switched
off.
The appliance produces a
loud pumping sound.
Water droplets come out of
the soleplate.
Dirty water and impurities
come out of the soleplate.
Water flushes out of the
soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process does
not start.
The iron leaves a shine or an
imprint on the garment.
Possible cause
This is the Calc-Clean reminder.
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-Clean
process.
The auto shut-off function is
activated automatically when the
appliance has not been used for
more than 5 minutes.
The water tank is empty.
After the Calc-Clean process
remaining water may drip out of
the soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process has not
been completed.
Steam condenses into water in
the hose when you use steam for
the first time or have not used it
for a long time.
Impurities or chemicals present in
the water have deposited in the
steam vents and/or soleplate.
You have accidentally started the
Calc-Clean process (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
You have not pressed the CALC-
CLEAN button for 2 seconds until
the appliance started beeping.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because you
were ironing over a seam or a fold
in the garment.
There was not enough felt in the
ironing board cover.
Solution
Perform the Calc-Clean after the Calc-Clean
reminder is given (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
Perform the Calc-Clean process to enable the
steam function again (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
To activate the appliance again, press the on/off
button. The appliance then starts to heat up again.
Fill the water tank with water and press the steam
trigger until the pumping sound becomes softer
and steam comes out of the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate dry with a piece of cloth. If the
Calc-Clean light still flashes and the appliance still
beeps, perform the Calc-Clean process (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
You have to perform the Calc-Clean process again
(see chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance').
This is normal. Hold the iron away from the garment
and press the steam trigger. Wait until steam
instead of water comes out of the soleplate.
Perform the Calc-Clean process regularly (see
chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance').
Switch off the appliance. Then switch it back on
again. Let the iron heat up until the 'iron ready' light
lights up steadily.
See chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The shine or
imprint is not permanent and will come off if you
wash the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or
folds or you can place a cotton cloth over the area
to be ironed to avoid imprints.
Put an extra layer of felt material under the ironing
board cover.
