Solution

The ‘ANTI-

CALC cartridge 

replacement’ light 

keeps flashing.

You have to replace the 

ANTI-CALC cartridge.

Replace the ANTI-CALC cartridge (see chapter 

‘IMPORTANT: Replacing the ANTI-CALC cartridge’). 

You can also use demineralised water or descaled 

water from the IronCare. In that case, you need to 

leave the exhausted cartridge in the compartment.

The appliance 

produces a loud 

pumping sound.

You have just installed a new 

ANTI-CALC cartridge.

Continue to press the steam trigger until the 

pumping sound stops and steam comes out of the 

soleplate.

The water tank is empty.

Refill the water tank with water and press the 

steam trigger until the pumping sound stops and 

steam comes out of the soleplate.

The ANTI-CALC cartridge 

is not in place.

Place the ANTI-CALC cartridge (see chapter 

‘Before first use - Placing the ANTI-CALC 

cartridge’).

The appliance has 

switched off.

The safety auto-off function 

is activated automatically 

when the steam generator 

has not been used for more 

than 5 minutes.

Press the on/off button to reactivate the steam 

generator.

The iron leaves a 

shine or an imprint 

on the garment.

The surface to be ironed 

was uneven, for instance 

because you were ironing 

over a seam or a fold in the 

garment.

Perfect Care is safe on all garments. The shine or 

imprint is not permanent and will disappear when 

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.

The ironing board 

cover becomes 

wet or water 

droplets come out 

of the soleplate.

Steam has condensed on 

the ironing board cover 

after a long ironing session.

Replace the ironing board cover if the foam material 

has worn out. You can also add an extra layer of felt 

material under the ironing board cover to prevent 

condensation on the ironing board.

You may have an ironing 

board that is not designed 

to cope with the high steam 

rate of the steam generator.

Put an extra layer of felt material under the ironing 

board cover to prevent condensation on the ironing 

board.

There is too much 

steam coming out 

of the iron.

The default setting of the 

iron is the OptimalTemp 

setting. In this setting the 

iron provides a high steam 

output.

Activate the ECO mode to iron with a lower 

steam output. See section ‘Energy saving’ in this user 

manual.

This iron has been approved by The Woolmark Company Pty Ltd for
