Possible causes
• There is a connection problem.
• The main power button is not switched
on.
• The main power button is not switched
on.
• The temperature control knob is set to
the "min" position.
• During first use: Certain components
on the appliance have been lightly
greased at the factory and may
produce a little smoke when initially
heated.
• During later use: the soleplate may be
soiled.
• The steam function is being used
before it has reached temperature.
• 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.
• There is a build-up of scale or minerals
in the steam tank.
• Chemical products or additives have
been used.
• The boiler is not switched on or the
water tank is empty.
• The water tank is not fitted onto the
housing correctly.
• The steam regulator is set to the
minimum position.
• The selected temperature is too high
and has damaged the garment.
• This is a regular consequence of
usage.
• "Intelligent steam" function activated.
• Water is being pumped into the steam
tank.
• The sound will not stop.
