Cause
This is normal. Some parts of the iron
have been greased lightly in the factory.
This is normal with a new iron.
The temperature dial has been set to a
temperature that is too low for steam
ironing.
The iron is not switched on.
The steam tank has been placed on an
unstable and/or uneven surface.
When you start steam ironing, the
hose is cold. Steam condenses in the
hose, causing droplets of water to
escape from the soleplate.
The steam tank and/or the iron has/
have not been switched on.
The steam tank is not hot enough to
produce steam.
Solution
This phenomenon will cease after a
short while.
These particles are harmless and they
will stop coming out of the soleplate
when you have used the iron a few
times.
Select an ironing temperature that is
suitable for steam ironing (temperature
settings 2 to MAX).
Set the iron switch to 'on' and wait until
the iron is hot.
Put the steam tank on a stable and even
surface.
This is normal. Hold the iron over an
old cloth and press the steam activator.
The cloth will absorb the drops. After a
few seconds the steam production will
have normalised.
Set both the iron switch and the steam
tank switch to 'on'.
Wait 6 to 8 minutes for the steam tank
to heat up.
