Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could
encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with
the information below, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The ironing board
cover becomes
wet or there are
water droplets on
the garment during
ironing.
This may be caused by steam
condensing on the ironing board
cover after a long ironing session.
Replace the ironing board cover if the foam
material has worn out. You can also add an
extra layer of felt material under the ironing
board cover to prevent condensation on the
ironing board. You can buy felt in a fabric shop
or in our Philips online shop.
You may have an ironing board
cover that is not designed to
cope with the high steam rate of
the steam generator.
Put an extra layer of felt material under the
ironing board cover to prevent condensation
on the ironing board. You can buy felt in a
fabric shop.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
The steam that was still present
in the hose has cooled down
and condensed into water. This
causes water droplets to come
out of the soleplate.
Steam away from the garment for a few
seconds.
Steam and/or
water comes out
from the EASY DE-
CALC knob.
The EASY DE-CALC knob is
not tightened properly.
Switch off the appliance and wait for 2
hours for the steam generator to cool down.
Unscrew the EASY DE-CALC knob and screw
it back onto the steam generator properly.
Note: Some water will escape when you
remove the knob.
