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.

Possible cause
The steam function has
been disabled until you have
performed the Calc-Clean
process.
The water tank is not placed
in the appliance properly.
At the start of your ironing
session, the steam trigger
has not been pressed long
enough.
This is the Calc-Clean
reminder.
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-Clean
process.
The safety 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').
Solution
Perform the Calc-Clean process to restore the
steam function. (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance')
Fit the water tank back into the appliance
firmly ('click').
Press and hold the steam trigger until steam
comes out. It may take up to 30 seconds until
steam comes out.
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.
