Problem
Possible causes
Solution
The iron does not
produce any steam.
• The boiler is not switched on or the
water tank is empty.
• The steam regulation is set to the
minimum position.
• Set the main power button (12) to the “I”
position (illuminated in red), and/or
fi
ll the
water tank.
• Increase the steam
fl
ow (see section B).
The ironed garment
turns dark and/or
sticks to the soleplate.
• The selected temperature is too high
and has damaged the garment.
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
The soleplate turns
brown.
• This is a regular consequence of
continued use over a long period of
time.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
The appliance makes
a pumping sound.
• Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• Water tank (1) is not correctly
inserted in the housing.
• The sound will not stop.
• This is normal.
• Adjust the water tank to
fi
t correctly.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Loss of pressure
during ironing.
Steam release button has been
activated for too long a period of
time, that is, it has been pressed too
frequently.
Use the steam release button at intervals.
This improves the ironing result as the
textiles will be steamed, dried and ironed
properly.
Water spots appear
on the garment during
ironing.
May be caused by steam condensed
on the ironing board.
Wipe the textile cover of the ironing board,
and iron any water drops to dry them.
Water spots appear
on the garment during
use of the “Pulse
steam” function.
Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when cooling
down after use.
Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the “Pulse steam”
function for some time.
The hose gets hot
during use.
This is normal. It is caused by the
steam passing through the hose
during steam ironing.
Place the hose on the opposite side so that
you cannot touch the hose during ironing.
Water leakage from
the boiler.
Filter (4*) located at the side of the
appliance is loose.
Tighten up the
fi
lter.
The iron does not stop
steaming after placing
it on the pad (2).
“Pulse steam” function has been
activated by double click.
Just press the trigger once again and the
iron will stop steaming at once.
If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with an authorised technical service.
