Possible cause
The wet spots that appear on your
garment after you have steam ironed
for some time may be caused by
steam that has condensed onto the
ironing board.
If you tilt the steam generator during
transport or place it on an uneven
surface when the water tank is full,
water may spill out of the water tank.
The water spots on your garment are
due to condensation in the supply
hose. When the supply hose cooled
down, the steam that was still present
in the hose cooled down and
condensed into water.
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 steam
generator.
This is normal as steam passes
through the steam supply hose during
steam ironing.
The iron cannot be put on its heel
because it has an ergonomic
design that reduces strain on your
wrist (see chapter 'Introduction').
The cord jammed during rewinding.

Solution
Iron the wet spots without steam
for some time to dry them. If the
underside of the ironing board is
wet, wipe it dry with a piece of dry
cloth.
Do not tilt the appliance when the
water tank is full.
The water droplets stop coming out
of the appliance when you have
used the steam boost function for
some time.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
Rinse the steam generator
frequently (see chapter 'Cleaning
and maintenance').
Place the steam supply hose on the
opposite side of the ironing board
in such a way that your hand does
not touch the hose during ironing.
Place the iron horizontally on the
heat-resistant iron resting mat.
Pull a small part of the cord out of
the appliance and press the cord
rewind button again.
