* model dependent
Possible causes
• The selected temperature is
too high and has damaged
the garment.
• This is a regular
consequence of usage.
• Water is being pumped into
the steam tank (1).
• The sound will not stop.
• Steam release button (15)
activated for a long period of
time.
• May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing
board.
• Water spots are caused by
steam condensation in the
hose when cooling down
after use.
• This is normal. It is caused
by the steam passing
through the hose during
steam ironing.
• Drainage plug located at the
bottom of the appliance is
loose.
• "Pulse steam" function may
have been activated by the
double click.
• The steaming will not stop.
Solution
• Select a suitable temperature
for the material being ironed and
clean the soleplate (19) with a
damp cloth.
• Clean the soleplate regularly with
a damp cloth.
• This is normal.
• If the sound will not stop, do not
use the steam generator and
contact an authorised technical
service centre.
• Use the steam release button
with intervals. This improves the
ironing result as the textiles will be
steamed and dried properly giving
a smoother result.
• Wipe the textile cover of the
ironing board, and iron the spots
without steam to dry them.
• Water drops stop coming out
of the soleplate after using the
"Ultimate steam"* function for
some time.
• Ensure that the steam generator is
positioned to the side of the hand
you are using to iron, to reduce
contact with the hose as much as
possible.
• Tighten up boiler drainage plug
with a coin.
• Just press the trigger (16*) once
again and the iron will stop
steaming at once.
• Contact an authorized technical
service centre.
