Possible causes
• There is a build up of scale or
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 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 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 (4) located at the side of the
appliance is loose.
• "pulseSteam" function has been
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 (12) to the
"I" position (illuminated in red), and/or
ill the water tank.
• Increase the steam low (see section
B).
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
• Clean the soleplate 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 at
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.
• Place the hose on the opposite side
so that you cannot touch the hose
during ironing.
Tighten up the ilter.
• Just press the trigger once again and
the iron will stop steaming at once.
