What to do if my Bosch Iron is smoking when I turn it on?

What to do if the "Water tank empty” indicator light (4) comes on Bosch I8 VarioComfort Iron?

A pumping sound from your Bosch Iron can be normal.

If the sound does not stop, do not use the steam station and use the steam release button at intervals and contact an authorised technical service centre.
