troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If
you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, please contact the Philips
Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem
Possible cause and solution
The appliance does
not become hot.
There is a connection problem. Check the mains cord, the plug and the
wall socket.
The appliance has not been switched on. Set the on/off knob to ‘on’.
The set temperature is too low. Set a higher temperature.
Smoke comes out of
my new ironing
system when I switch
it on.
Some parts of the appliance have been lightly greased in the factory and
may initially give off some smoke when heated. This phenomenon is
perfectly normal and ceases after a short while
The appliance does
not produce any
steam.
There is not enough water in the water tank. Fill the water tank.
The steam generator has not heated up sufficiently. Wait approx. 2
minutes.
The set ironing temperature is too low for steam ironing. Select a
temperature of
2
or higher.
The water tank is not placed properly in the steam generator. Place the
water tank properly in the steam generator (‘click’).
When the temperature dial 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 temperature dial to a lower
temperature, e.g.
2
, to check if the iron produces steam.
