rinsed out regularly.

ironed a new garment before
washing it.
You are ironing at too high a
temperature.
The water tank is empty
(light turn on)
The steam output control dial
is set at minimum.
The soleplate temperature is set
to the maximum.
Your ironing board is

it is not suitable for use with a

Solutions
Check that your appliance is correctly plugged in
and press the illuminated on/off switch (on the
front of the base-unit).
Decrease the steam output while ironing at low
temperature (steam output control dial on the
control panel).
Wait for the thermostat light to go out before
activating the steam control button.
Press the steam control button away from your
ironing board until the iron produces steam.
Rinse out the boiler after every 10 uses, when
the orange indicator light flashes (see chapter
11). If your water is hard increase the frequency.
Press the "Restart" button to turn off the
indicator light.
Never add this type of product in the water tank or
in the boiler (see our recommendations
regarding water to be used).
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove any
soap deposits or chemicals on new garments
which have been sucked up by the iron.
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
Fill the water tank and press the "Restart" button
on the control panel.
Increase the steam output (control dial on the
control panel).

Check that your ironing board is suitable. A
mesh type ironing board must be used to allow
any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam
venting sideways.
Press the "Restart" button on the control panel.
Tighten the rinse plug correctly.
