Problem
The iron does not
produce any steam.

the soleplate, the light
of the CALC CLEAN
button flashes and the
appliance beeps.
Water droplets come out
of the soleplate.
Dirty water and
impurities come out of
the soleplate.
Water flushes out of the
soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process
does not start.
Possible cause
There is not enough water in
the water tank.
You did not press the steam
trigger.
The steam function has
been disabled until you have
performed the Calc-Clean
process.
At the start of your ironing
session, the steam trigger
has not been pressed long
enough.
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-Clean
process.
After the Calc-Clean process
remaining water may drip out
of the soleplate.
You have used the steam
boost function too frequently.
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').
You have not pressed the
CALC-CLEAN button for
2 seconds until the appliance
started beeping.
Solution

steam trigger until steam comes out. It
may take up to 30 seconds until steam
comes out.
Press and hold the steam trigger until
steam comes out.

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 process to
enable the steam function again (see
chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance').
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

Use the steam boost function only for
stubborn creases. It is recommended not

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.

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.
