Problem
Smoke comes
out of my new
iron when I
switch it on.
The iron does
not produce any
steam.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate when I
use the steam
boost function
(GC6360 only).
Flakes and
impurities come
out of the
soleplate.
Cause
Some parts of the appliance have been
lightly greased in the factory and may
initially give off some smoke when heated.
The steam tank and/or the iron may not
be switched on.
There is not enough water in the water
tank.
The steam tank has not heated up
sufficiently.
The selected ironing temperature is too
low for steam ironing.
When the iron has been set to a very
high temperature, the steam produced is
dry and hardly visible. It will be even less
visible when the ambient temperature is
relatively high and it will be entirely
invisible when the temperature has been
set to MAX.
The temperature dial may be set to a
temperature that is too low for steam
ironing.
You may not have switched on the iron.
You may have placed the steam tank on
an unstable and/or uneven surface.
When you start steam ironing and when
you have stopped steam ironing for a
while, the steam that was still present in
the supply hose will have cooled down
and condensed into water, which causes
water droplets to come out of the
soleplate.
Steam may have condensed in the hose,
the temperature may have been set
below 3 or the appliance may not be
ready for steam ironing.
The iron is new.
Solution
This phenomenon is perfectly
normal and will cease after a
short while.
Set both the iron switch and the
steam tank switch to 'on'.
Fill the water tank (see chapter
'Preparing for use').
Wait for 6 to 8 minutes for the
steam tank to heat up.
Select a temperature of 2 or
higher.
Set the iron to a lower
temperature, e.g. 2, to check if
the iron is actually producing
steam.
Select an ironing temperature
that is suitable for steam ironing
(temperature settings 2 to
MAX).
Set the iron switch to 'on' and
wait until the iron is hot.
Place the steam tank on a stable
and even surface.
This is perfectly normal. Hold the
iron over an old cloth and press
the steam activator. The cloth
absorbs the drops. After a few
seconds, the steam production
normalises.
Make sure the temperature is set
to 3 or higher. Steam iron for
a few seconds before you use the
steam boost function.
This is normal. The particles are
harmless ans stop coming out of
the soleplate when you have
used the iron a few times.
