Trouble shooting
Problem
Pilot light (11) flashes
The steam generator
does not come on.
The iron does not heat
up.
The iron begins to
smoke when switched
on.
Water flows through
the holes on the
soleplate.
Possible causes
• Boiler and filter must be
rinsed.
• There is a connection
problem.
• The main power button is not
switched on.
• The main power button is not
switched on.
• The temperature is set to a
low position.
• During first use: certain
components on the appliance
have been lightly greased at
the factory and may produce
a little smoke when initially
heated.
• During subsequent use: the
soleplate may be soiled.
• The water is condensing
inside the pipes because
steam is being used for the
first time or has not been
used for a long time.
Tips to help you
save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy.
To help minimise the energy used, follow the
advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the
lowest ironing temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature
in the label on the garment.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp
and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be
generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing
them, set the tumble drier on the 'iron dry'
programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the
steam regulator completely.
Solution
• Rinse the filter and the boiler
according to the cleaning instructions
in this manual (see section E).
• Check the mains cable (6), the plug
and the socket.
• Set the main power button (12) to the
"I" position (illuminated in red).
• Set the main power button (12) to the
"I" position (illuminated in red).
• Set the temperature to the desired
position.
• This is completely normal and will
stop after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
• Point the iron away from the ironing
area and press the steam release
button until steam is produced.
