Possible causes
• The appliance is not switched on.
• You are using the steam control button
before the iron is hot enough.
• Water has condensed in the pipes
because you are using steam for the first
time or you have not used it for some time.
• Over use of the turbo steam function
(which has cooled down the iron).
• Your boiler has a build-up
of scale because it has not been
rinsed out regularly.
• You have not pressed for long enough
on the "Restart" button.
• You are using chemical descaling agents
or additives in the water for ironing.
• Your linen is not rinsed sufficiently or
you have ironed a new garment before
washing it.
• You are ironing at too high a temperature.
• You are using starch.
• The removable water tank is empty
(red "water tank empty" light on).
• The steam output control dial is set at
minimum.
• The tank is not properly in place.
• You have not pressed the "Restart" button.
• The rinse plug has not been tightened
correctly.
• The rinse plug seal is damaged.

• The power cord has lost tension
during retraction.
Solutions
• Check that your appliance is correctly
plugged in and press the illuminated on/off
switch (on the side of the base-unit).
• Decrease the steam output while ironing
at low temperature (steam output

from your ironing board until the iron
produces steam.
• Stop using the turbo steam function and
allow the thermostat light to come on and go
off again before using this function again.
• Rinse out the boiler after every 10 uses,
when the orange indicator light flashes
(see chapter 11). If your water is hard,
increase the frequency.
• Hold the "Restart" button down for
2 to 3 seconds to turn off the indicator light.
• Never add this type of product in the removable
water tank or in the boiler (see our
recommendations regarding water to be used).
• Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove
any soap deposits or chemicals on new garments
which have been sucked up by the iron.
• See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
• Always spray starch on the reverse side
of the fabric to be ironed.
• Fill the removable water tank and press the
"Restart" button located on the control panel.
• Increase the steam output (control dial
on the control panel).
