Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The ironing board
cover becomes
wet or there are
water droplets
on the garment
during ironing.
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 can buy felt in
a fabric shop.
You have an ironing board
cover that is not designed
to cope with the high steam
rate of the appliance.
Put an extra layer of felt material
under the ironing board cover to
prevent condensation on the ironing
board. You can buy felt in a fabric
shop.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
The steam that was
still present in the hose
has cooled down and
condensed into water. This
causes water droplets to
come out of the soleplate.
Steam away from the garment for a
few seconds.
Steam and/or
water come out
from under the
EASY DE-CALC
knob.
The EASY DE-CALC knob is
not tightened properly.
