Possible causes
• 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 selected temperature is
too high and has damaged
the garment.
• This is a regular consequence
of continued use over a long
period of time.
• Water is being pumped into
the steam tank.
• The sound will not stop.
• Steam release button has
been activated for too long a
period of time, that is, it has
been pressed too frequently.
• May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing
board.
• Water spots are caused by
steam condensation in the
hose when cooling down after
use.
• This is normal. It is caused by
the steam passing through
the hose during steam
ironing.
• Filter (4*) located at the side
of the appliance is loose.
• "pulseSteam" function has
been activated by double
click.
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 (12) to the
"I" position (illuminated in red), and/or
fill the water tank.
• 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.
