The iron does not
produce any steam.
The appliance has
switched off.

a loud pumping sound.

of the soleplate.

Possible cause

session, the steam trigger
has not been pressed long
enough.
The safety auto-off function
is activated automatically
when the appliance has not

Steam condenses into water
in the hose when you use
steam for the first time or
have not used it for a long
time.
The surface to be ironed
was uneven, for instance
because you were ironing
over a seam or a fold in the
garment.

until steam comes out. It may take up to 30
