troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could
encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with
the information below, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Cause
There is a connection problem.
You have not switched on the appliance.
The set temperature is too low.
Some parts of the appliance have been
lightly greased in the factory and may
initially give off some smoke when heated.
There is not enough water in the water
tank.
The steam generator has not heated up
sufficiently.
The set ironing temperature is too low for
steam ironing.
You have not placed the water tank
properly in the steam generator.
When the iron is set to a very high
temperature, the steam produced is dry
and hardly visible. It is even less visible
when the ambient temperature is relatively
high and it is entirely invisible when the
temperature has been set to MAX.
