Possible causes
1. 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.
1. There is a build up of scale or
minerals in the boiler and iron.
2. Chemical products or additives
have been used.
1. The boiler is not switched on or
the water tank is empty.
2. The water tank is not fitted onto
the housing correctly.
1. The selected temperature is too
high and has damaged the
garment.
1. This is a regular consequence of
continued use over a long period
of time.
1. Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
2. The water tank is not fitted onto
the housing correctly.
3. The sound will not stop.
1. Steam release button has been
activated for too long a period of
time, that is, it has been pressed
too frequently.
1. May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing board.
1. Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when
cooling down after use.

1. Point the iron away from the ironing area
and press the steam release button until
steam is produced.
1. Carry out a cleaning cycle (see
"Calc'nClean Perfect" section).
2. Never add products to the water.
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 area is very hard, mix tap water with
distilled water 1:2.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
1. Set the power button (10) to the "I"

correctly.
3. If the sound will not stop, do not use the
steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
1. Use the steam release button at
intervals. This improves the ironing result
as the textiles will be steamed, dried and
ironed properly.
1. Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron any water drops to dry
them.
1. Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the "PulseSteam"
function for some time.
1. Place the hose on the opposite side so
that you cannot touch the hose during
ironing.
Tighten up the scale collector.

iron will stop steaming at once.
