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 TURBO steam control 2 or 3 times.
Press the steam control on the iron away from the
ironing board until steam comes out of the iron.
Rinse the collector when the "Calc-Away System"
indicator flashes. If your water is very hard, rinse it
more often.
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.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly and always spray
starch on the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Fill the water tank and press the "Restart" button on
the control panel.
Increase the steam output (control dial on the control
panel).
The generator is working but steam is very hot and
dry. As a consequence, it is less visible.

ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam
to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
Check there is water in the water tank.
