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 boiler.
• Chemical products or additives have
been used.
• The boiler is not switched on or is
empty.
• 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.
Steam release button activated
during a long period of time.
Solution
• Check the mains cable, the plug
and the socket.
• Switch the main power button (9) to
the on position.("I")
• Switch the main power button (9) to
the on position.("I")
• Set the temperature control knob
(11) to the desired position.
• This is completely normal and will
stop after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
• Reduce the steam flow when ironing
at low temperatures (Variable steam
control (8*)).
• Point the iron away from the ironing
area and press the steam release
button (12) until steam is produced.
• Clean the boiler
Use tap water mixed 50% with
distilled or demineralised water. If
the tap water in your district is very
hard, mix tap water with distilled
water 1:2.
• Clean the sole plate with a damp
cloth.
• Never add products to the boiler
• Switch the main power button (9) to
the on position.("I") and/or fill the
boiler
• Increase the steam flow by turning
the steam control (8*).
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material and clean the sole plate
with a damp cloth.
• Clean the soleplate regularly with a
damp cloth.
Use the steam release button (12)
with intervals. This improves the
ironing result as the textiles will be
dried and stay smooth better.
