Problem
No steam comes out of
the soleplate, the light
of the CALC-CLEAN
button flashes and the
appliance beeps.
The appliance has
switched off.
The appliance produces
a loud pumping sound.
Water droplets come out
of the soleplate.
Dirty water and
impurities come out of
the soleplate.
Water flushes out of the
soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process
does not start.
The iron leaves a shine
or an imprint on the
garment.
Possible cause
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-
Clean process.
The safety auto-off function
is activated automatically
when the appliance has not
been used for more than 5
minutes.
The water tank is empty.
After the Calc-Clean process
remaining water may drip
out of the soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process has
not been completed.
Steam condenses into water
in the hose when you use
steam for the first time or
have not used it for a long
time.
Impurities or chemicals
present in the water have
deposited in the steam
vents and/or soleplate.
You have accidentally
started the Calc-
Clean process (see
chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
You have not pressed the
CALC-CLEAN button for 2
seconds until the appliance
started beeping.
The surface to be ironed
was uneven, for instance
because you were ironing
over a seam or a fold in the
garment.
There was not enough felt in
the ironing board cover.
Solution
Perform the Calc-Clean process to enable
the steam function again (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
To activate the appliance again, press the
on/off button. The appliance then starts to
heat up again.
Fill the water tank with water and press
the steam trigger until the pumping sound
becomes softer and steam comes out of
the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate dry with a piece of cloth.
If the Calc-Clean light still flashes and the
appliance still beeps, perform the Calc-
Clean process (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
You have to perform the Calc-Clean
process again (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
This is normal. Hold the iron away from the
garment and press the steam trigger.Wait
until steam instead of water comes out of
the soleplate.
Perform the Calc-Clean process regularly
(see chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance').
Switch off the appliance. Then switch it
back on again. Let the iron heat up until the
'iron ready' light lights up steadily.
See chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The
shine or imprint is not permanent and will
come off if you wash the garment.Avoid
ironing over seams or folds or you can
place a cotton cloth over the area to be
ironed to avoid imprints.
Put an extra layer of felt material under the
ironing board cover.
