Answer
The iron or steamer is not switched on. Press the iron or steamer power-on
button.
The Auto Calc Clean process may be in progress. Wait for the Auto Calc
Clean process to finish and then switch on the appliance again.
The automatic shut-off function may have been activated. The appliance is
switched off automatically when the steam generator has not been used for
10 minutes. Press the iron or steamer power-on switch once to restart the
appliance. It is ready for use when the light on the iron or steamer stops
flashing and lights up continuously.
There may not be enough water in the water tank or the water tank is not
placed in the water tank compartment properly. Fill the water tank and put it
back into the water tank compartment properly.
The appliance may not be hot enough to produce steam. Heating up takes
two minutes.Wait until the light on the iron or steamer stops flashing and
lights up continuously.Then press the steam trigger to start steam ironing or
press the steam activator to start steaming.
You may not have pressed the steam trigger on the iron or the steam
activator on the steamer. Press the steam trigger to start steam ironing or
press the steam activator to start steaming.
The automatic shut-off function may have been activated. The appliance is
switched off automatically when the steam generator has not been used for
10 minutes. Press the power-on light of the iron or steamer. It is ready for use
when the light on the iron or steamer stops flashing and lights up continuously.
It is normal to hear a pumping sound. When you hear an intermittent noise,
water is intermittently pumped from the water tank into the boiler.
When you hear a long pumping noise, the Auto Calc Clean process is in
progress. This is normal.
The noise you hear may be the sound of the fan. The appliance is equipped
with a fan that runs continuously during use.This fan optimises the
performance of the appliance and cannot be switched off.
If the pumping noises do not stop, first check if the water tank is placed in the
water tank compartment properly. If this is the case but the noises still persist,
switch off the appliance and contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre or
your Philips dealer.
After a long ironing session, steam condenses inside the ironing board, causing
wet spots on the cover. After use, leave the ironing board folded out for
some time to let it dry.
Water collects inside the supply hose of the iron or steamer and this water
comes out of the iron or steamer as water droplets during the first few
seconds of steaming at the start of an ironing or steaming session and after
an interruption during the session.
The anti-calc cartridge contains granules that gradually change colour during
use. When the colour has changed completely, the anti-calc cartridge is no
longer effective and you have to replace it. When the anti-calc cartridge
needs to be replaced, the red REPLACE CARTRIDGE light starts flashing and
the system beeps.
