ENGLISH
Problem Possible cause Solution
The appliance
produces a loud
pumping sound.
The water tank is
empty.
Fill the water tank
with water and press
the steam trigger until
the pumping sound
becomes softer and
steam comes out of
the soleplate.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
After the Calc-Clean
process remaining
water may drip out of
the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate dry
with a piece of cloth.
If the Calc-Clean light
still ashes and the
appliance still beeps,
perform the Calc-
Clean process (see
chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
The Calc-Clean
process has not been
completed.
You have to perform
the Calc-Clean
process again (see
chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
Steam condenses
into water in the hose
when you use steam
for the rst time or
have not used it for a
long time.
This is normal. Hold
the iron away from
the garment and press
the steam trigger. Wait
until steam instead of
water comes out of
the soleplate.
Dirty water
and impurities
come out of the
soleplate.
Impurities or
chemicals present
in the water have
deposited in the
steam vents and/or
soleplate.
Perform the Calc-
Clean process
regularly (see chapter
‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
