Philips PerfectCare Performer GC8700 Serie Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

Problem
No steam comes out of
the soleplate, the light of
the CALC-CLEAN button
flashes and the appliance
beeps.
The appliance has
switched off.
The appliance produces a
loud pumping sound.
Water droplets come out
of the soleplate.
Dirty water and impurities
come out of the soleplate.
Water flushes out of the
soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process
does not start.
The iron leaves a shine
or an imprint on the
garment.
The ironing board cover
becomes wet, or there
are water droplets on the
floor/garment.
Possible cause
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-Clean
process.
The auto shut-off function is
activated automatically when
the appliance has not been used
for more than 5 minutes.
The water tank is empty.
After the Calc-Clean process
remaining water may drip out of
the soleplate.
The Calc-Clean process has not
been completed.
Steam condenses into water in
the hose when you use steam for
the first time or have not used it
for a long time.
Impurities or chemicals present
in the water have deposited
in the steam vents and/or
soleplate.
You have accidentally started
the Calc-Clean process
(see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
You have not pressed the CALC-
CLEAN button for 2 seconds until
the appliance started beeping.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
you were ironing over a seam or
a fold in the garment.
There was not enough felt in the
ironing board cover.
Steam has condensed on the
ironing board cover after a long
ironing session.
You have an ironing board that
is not designed to cope with the
high steam rate of the appliance.
Solution
Perform the Calc-Clean process to enable
the steam function again (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
To activate the appliance again, press the
on/off button. The appliance then starts to
heat up again.
Fill the water tank with water and press
the steam trigger until the pumping sound
becomes softer and steam comes out of
the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate dry with a piece of
cloth. If the Calc-Clean light still flashes and
the appliance still beeps, perform the Calc-
Clean process (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
You have to perform the Calc-Clean
process again (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
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.
Perform the Calc-Clean process regularly
(see chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance').
Switch off the appliance. Then switch it
back on again. Let the iron heat up until
the 'iron ready' light lights up steadily.
See chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The
shine or imprint is not permanent and will
come off if you wash the garment. Avoid
ironing over seams or folds or you can
place a cotton cloth over the area to be
ironed to avoid imprints.
Put an extra layer of felt material under the
ironing board cover.
Replace the ironing board cover if the
foam or felt 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.
Put an extra layer of felt material under
the ironing board cover to prevent
