drip onto the
fabric during
ironing.

the soleplate after
the iron has
cooled down or
has been stored.
Flakes and
impurities come
out of the
soleplate during
ironing.
The red light
flashes (specific
types only).
The iron makes a
humming sound.
Possible cause
The iron is not hot enough
and/or the drip-stop
function has been activated.
You have used the steam
boost function too often
within a very short period.
The iron is not hot enough.
You have not closed the cap
of the filling opening
properly.
You have put an additive in
the water tank.
The set temperature is too
low for steam ironing.
You have used the steam
boost function at a
temperature setting below
3.
You have put the iron in
horizontal position with
water still left in the water
tank.
Hard water forms flakes
inside the soleplate.
The automatic shut-off
function has switched off the
iron (see chapter 'Features',
section 'Automatic shut-off
function').
The Ionic DeepSteam
function is on.
Solution
Set an ironing temperature that is suitable for
steam ironing ( 2 to MAX). Put the iron on
its heel and wait until the temperature light
has gone out before you start ironing.
Continue ironing in horizontal position and
wait a while before you use the steam boost
function again.
Set an ironing temperature at which the
steam boost function can be used ( 3 to
MAX). Put the iron on its heel and wait until
the temperature light has gone out before
you use the steam boost function.
Press the cap until you hear a click.
Rinse the water tank and do not put any
additive in the water tank.
Set a temperature of or 2 higher.
Set the temperature dial to a setting between
3 and MAX.
Empty the water tank.
Use the Calc-Clean function one or more
times (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance', section 'Using the Calc-Clean
function').
Move the iron slightly to deactivate the
automatic shut-off function. The red AUTO/
OFF light goes out.
If you hear the humming sound when you
iron without steam, stop pressing the Ionic
DeepSteam button. The Ionic DeepSteam
function has no effect when you iron without
steam.
