Problem Possible causes Solution
The iron does not
produce any
steam.
• The boiler is not switched on or
the water tank is empty.
• Set the main power button (12) to
the “I” position (illuminated in red),
and/or ll the water tank.
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 ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
The soleplate
turns brown.
• This is a regular consequence of
continued use over a long period
of time.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
The appliance
makes a pumping
sound.
• Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• The sound will not stop.
• This is normal.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Loss of pressure
during ironing.
• Steam release button has been
activated for too long a period of
time, that is, it has been pressed
too frequently.
• Use the steam release button at
intervals. This improves the ironing
result as the textiles will be steamed,
dried and ironed properly.
Water spots
appear on the
garment during
ironing.
• May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing board.
• Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron any water drops to
dry them.
Water spots
appear on the
garment during
use of the
“PulseSteam”
function.
• Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when
cooling down after use.
• Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the
“PulseSteam” function for some
time.
The hose gets hot
during use.
• This is normal. It is caused by the
steam passing through the hose
during steam ironing.
• Place the hose on the opposite side
so that you cannot touch the hose
during ironing.
Water leakage
from the boiler.
• Scale collector (5*) located at the
side of the appliance is loose.
Tighten up the scale collector.
The iron does not
stop steaming
after placing it on
the pad (1).
• “PulseSteam” function has been
activated by double click.
• Just press the trigger once again
and the iron will stop steaming at
once.
If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with an authorised technical service.
