Problem
Dirty water and
impurities come out
of the soleplate or
the soleplate is dirty.
The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.
The appliance does
not produce any
steam.
The appliance has
switched off. The
light in the on/off
button lashes.
The appliance
produces a pumping
sound.
Possible cause
The rubber sealing ring of the
EASY DE-CALC knob is worn.
Impurities or chemicals present
in the water have deposited in
the steam vents and/or on the
soleplate.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the appliance.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because you
were ironing over a seam or a
fold in the garment.
There is not enough water in
the water tank (the 'water tank
empty' light lashes).
The appliance is not hot enough
to produce steam.
You did not press the steam
trigger.
The water tank is not placed in
the appliance properly.
The appliance is not switched on.
The auto-off function is activated
automatically when the appliance
has not been used for more than
10 minutes.
Water is pumped into the boiler
inside the appliance. This is
normal.
Solution
Contact an authorised Philips service centre
for a new EASY DE-CALC knob.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Descale the appliance regularly (see chapter
'Important - DESCALING').
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The
shine or imprint is not permanent and will
come off if you wash the garment. Avoid
ironing over seams or folds or you can place
a cotton cloth over the area to be ironed to
avoid imprints at seams and folds.
Fill the water tank (see chapter 'Using your
appliance', section 'Filling the water tank').
Wait until the 'iron ready' light on the iron
lights up continuously.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed
while you iron.
Slide the water tank back into the appliance
irmly ('click').
Insert the plug in the wall socket and press
the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Press the power on/off button to switch on
the appliance again.
If the pumping sound continues nonstop,
switch off the appliance and remove the
plug from the wall socket. Contact an
authorised Philips service centre.
