Press the steam control
button continuously for
few minutes pointing it

There is no anti calc
cartridge in the
appliance or it is not
properly installed.
Make sure the anticalc
cartridge is installed
and locked in its
compartment.
Steam cannot be
produced at the
temperature you
have selected.
Set the thermostat
control in the coloured

for the first time or
you have not used it
for some time.

(••• or MAX) and wait
for the iron thermostat
light to go out before
activating the steam
button again.
