Solution
• Use tap water mixed 50% with distilled
or demineralised water. To prolong the
optimum steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water
in your district is very hard, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:2.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
• Never add products to the water.
• Set the main power button (13) to the
"I" position, and/or fill the water tank.
• Increase the steam flow (see section B).
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
• This is normal.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Use the steam release button at
intervals. This improves the ironing
result as the textiles will be steamed,
dried and ironed properly.
Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron any water drops to dry
them.
Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the "pulseSteam"
function for some time.
Place the hose on the opposite side so
that you cannot touch the hose during
ironing.
Tighten up the filter.
Just press the trigger once again and
the iron will stop steaming at once.
