Problem Cause
When you start steam ironing and when
you have stopped steam ironing for a
while, the steam that was still present in
the supply hose will have cooled down
and condensed into water, which causes
water droplets to come out of the
soleplate.

Solution
This is perfectly normal. Hold the
iron over an old cloth and press
the steam activator when you start
ironing (again). Wait until steam
instead of water comes out of the
soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
This is normal.
Unplug the iron immediately and
contact an authorised Philips service
centre.
Set the steam lock to 'off ' if you only
want to obtain steam when pressing
the steam activator (see section
'Steam lock function').
Rinse the steam tank. See chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance'.
Switch the appliance off, tighten the
Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch
the appliance on again. If steam
continues to escape when the
appliance is heating up, switch the
appliance off and contact a service
centre authorised by Philips.
To optimise the steam output,
release the steam lock when you do
not need steam and when you put
the iron down.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh top.
