TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Possible causes
Solution
The steam generator
does not come on.
•
There is a connection problem.
• The main power button is not switched
on.
• Check the mains cable, the plug and the
socket.
• Set the main power (6) button to the «I»
position.
The iron does not
heat up.
• The main power button is not switched
on.
• The temperature control knob is set to
the «min» position.
• Set the main power (6) button to the «I»
position.
• Set the temperature control knob (10) to
the desired position.
The iron begins to
smoke when switched
on.
• During first use: Certain components on
the appliance have been lightly greased
at the factory and may produce a little
smoke when initially heated.
• During later use: the soleplate may be
soiled.
•
This is completely normal and
will stop after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
Water flows through
the holes on the sole
plate.
• The steam function is being used before
it has reached temperature.
• The water is condensing inside the pipes
because steam is being used for the first
time or has not been used for a long
time.
• Reduce the steam flow when ironing at
low temperatures (Variable steam control
(4)).
• Point the iron away from the ironing area
and press the steam release button (11)
until steam is produced.
Dirt comes out
through the sole plate.
•
There is a build-up of scale
or minerals in the steam tank.
• Chemical products or additives have
been used.
• Use tap water mixed 50% with distilled
or demineralised water. If the tap water
in your district is very hard, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:2.
• Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth.
• Never add products to the boiler water.
The iron does not
produce any steam.
• The boiler is not switched on or the
water tank is empty.
• The water tank is not fitted onto the
housing correctly.
• The steam regulator is set to the minimum
position.
• Set the main power (6) button to the «I»
position and/or fill the water tank.
• Fit the water tank back onto the housing
correctly (you will hear a click).
• Increase the steam flow by turning the
steam control (4).
The ironed garment
turns dark and/or
sticks to the soleplate.
• The selected temperature is too high and
has damaged the garment.
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being and clean the sole plate
with a damp cloth.
Important:
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains supply
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operation on it.
STORING THE APPLIANCE (D)
1. Always allow the appliance to cool down before
storing it.
2.
Set the main power to the «0» position and
disconnect the mains cable.
3. Place the iron on the iron pad, standing on the
soleplate.
4. Empty the water tank and store the mains cable on
