first time or have not used it for a
long time.
Steam has condensed on the ironing
board cover after a long ironing
session, or your board cover is not
designed to cope with the high
steam rate.
The EASY DE-CALC knob is not
tightened properly.
The rubber sealing ring of the EASY
DE-CALC knob is worn.

instead of water comes out of the
soleplate.

if the foam material has worn out.
We also advise you to use a layer
of felt material in the board cover

wait 2 hours for it to cool down.

CALC knob.
