Warning!
Given that limescale or dirty water problems are not
due to a defect with the appliance but rather a lack of
maintenance or misuse by the user, under no
circumstances are these repairs or replacements
covered by the guarantee.
7.9 The soleplate does not reach the right
temperature
For this type of claim, first you need to check the temperature of the
sole, with two possible outcomes:
- Temperature OK: The thermostat is working properly, if at
maximum temperature (the temperature regulator in "max"
position) the thermostat cut 170–240ºC. The problem is
based on a wring use by the user, who isn’t sufficiently
informed about the correct positions of the regulator of
temperature for each type of fabric.
- Temperature not OK: In this case, check the thermostat
operation and change it, if necessary. If the iron is rigid wire
(can’t change the thermostat), change the set normally
complete soleplate+thermostat.
7.10 Dripping through the steam vents
Dripping through the steam vents is not always due to a technical
fault:
- Dripping during the first few seconds of use: As indicated in the
instruction manual, this is not due to a defect in the appliance,
but the next cause:
o There is condensation in the hose due to the iron not
having been used for a certain length of time. This
phenomenon will disappear after a few seconds.
- Constant dripping: This may be due to one of three main
causes:
o The user does not select the maximum temperature
setting (settings oo and ooo) on the temperature dial of
the iron. In this case the soleplate is too cold and the
steam coming from the hose condenses and drips out of
the iron.
o Defect in the state of the steam (the steam is not
generated correctly)
o Defect in the iron (the sole plate does not reach the right
temperature)
7.10.1 Checking the iron
If dripping is due to a defect in the iron, this is probably because the
sole plate does not get hot enough. Check the following:
- Plug the iron and verify if it is heated. If not, check continuity on
the resistance and the safety thermostat/bimetal. If the
resistance defect, change the soleplate, and if the thermostat
or bimetal do not have continuity change joint thermostat-
bimetal. Also check flange connections, correct position and the
cables fixation onto the Strip.
