You have not placed the water
tank properly in the steam generator.
Place the water tank properly in the

When the iron is set to a very high
temperature, the steam produced is
dry and hardly visible. It is even less
visible when the ambient temperature is
relatively high and it is entirely invisible
when the temperature is set to MAX.
Set the iron to a lower temperature,
e.g.
2
, to check if the iron actually
produces steam.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
The set temperature is too low for steam
ironing.
Set a temperature of
2
or higher.
When you start steam ironing and when
you stop steam ironing for a while, the
steam still present in the supply hose
cools down and condenses into water. This
causes water droplets to come out of the
soleplate.
This is normal. When you start
ironing or when you continue
ironing after an interruption, hold
the iron over an old cloth and press
the steam trigger. Wait until steam
instead of water comes out of the
soleplate.
Flakes and impurities
come out of the
soleplate or the
soleplate is dirty.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited in the steam vents
and/or on the soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
The appliance
produces a pumping
sound.
Water is pumped into the steam
generator.
This is normal.
The pumping sound does not stop.
Unplug the iron immediately and
contact an authorised Philips service
centre.
The iron produces
steam continuously.
The steam lock has been set to ‘on’.
Set the steam lock to ‘off ’ if you
only want to obtain steam when
you press the steam trigger (see
section ‘Steam lock function’).
Dirty water comes
out of the soleplate.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam generator.
Rinse the steam generator. See
chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
