The steam iron blows out no or very little
steam:
The reserves of water in the steam iron are depleted.
Fill the water tank with mains water (See "Filling the
water tank").
The steam iron does not get hot:

on. Insert the plug into a wall power socket and
adjust the temperature regulator 7 to the desired
ironing temperature.
• The steam iron is defect. Arrange for the steam
iron to be repaired by qualified specialists.
