minerals in the steam tank.
• Chemical products or additives
have been used.
• The boiler is not switched on or
the water tank is empty.
• The water tank is not fitted onto
the housing correctly.
• The steam regulation is set to
the minimum position.
• The selected temperature is
too high and has damaged the
garment.
• This is a regular consequence of
continued use over a long period
of time.
• Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• The water tank is not fitted onto
the housing correctly.
• The sound will not stop.
• Steam release button has been
activated for too long a period of
time, that is, it has been pressed
too frequently.
• 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.
• Filter (12) located at the side of
the appliance is loose.

activated by double click.
Solution
• Use tap water mixed 50% with distilled
or demineralised water. To prolong the
optimum steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. if the tap water in
your district is very hard, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:2.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
• never add products to the water.
• Set the main power button (7) to the "i"
position (illuminated in red), and/or fill the
water tank.
• Fit the water tank back onto the hou sing
correctly (you will hear a click).
• increase the steam flow.

• Fit the water tank back onto the hou sing
correctly (you will hear a click).
• if the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an

intervals. This improves the ironing result
as the textiles will be steamed, dried and
ironed properly.
• Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron any water drops to dry
them.
• Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the "pulseSteam"
function for some time.

that you cannot touch the hose during
ironing.
Tighten up the filter.

iron will stop steaming at once.
