The iron
begins to
smoke when
switched on.
• During rst use: certain
components on the
appliance have been lightly
greased at the factory and
may produce a little smoke
when initially heated.
• During subsequent 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 ows
through the
holes on the
soleplate.
• The steam function is being
used before it has reached
the correct temperature.
• The water is condensing
inside the pipes because
steam is being used for the
rst time or has not been
used for a long time.
• The steam generator
contains too much scale.
• Reduce the steam ow when
ironing at low temperatures.
• Point the iron away from the
ironing area and press the
steam release button until
team is produced.
• Clean the boiler as described
in section “Descaling the lter
and the boiler”.

• 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. To prolong the optimum
steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the
tap water in your district is
very hard, mix tap water with
distilled water 1:2.
• Clean the soleplate with a
damp cloth.
• Never add products to the
water.
