possible causes
• There is a build up of scale or
minerals in the steam tank.
• Chemical products or additives have
been used.
• The boiler is not switched on or the
water tank is empty.
• The steam regulation is set to the
minimum position.
• The selected temperature is too high
and has damaged the garment.
• This is a regular consequence of
continued use over a long period of
time.
• Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• The sound will not stop.
Steam release button has been
activated for too long a period of
time, that is, it has been pressed too
frequently.
May be caused by steam condensed
on the ironing board.
Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when
cooling down after use.
This is normal. It is caused by the
steam passing through the hose
during steam ironing.
Filter (4) located at the side of the
appliance is loose.
"pulseSteam" function has been
activated by double click.
Solution
• Use tap water mixed 50% with distilled or
demineralised water. To prolong the
optimum steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in
your district is very hard, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:2.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
• Never add products to the water.
• Set the main power button (13) to the "I"
position, and/or fill the water tank.
• Increase the steam flow (see section B).
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
• This is normal.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use the
steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Use the steam release button at intervals.
This improves the ironing result as the
textiles will be steamed, dried and ironed
properly.
Wipe the textile cover of the ironing board,
and iron any water drops to dry them.
Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the "pulseSteam"
function for some time.
Place the hose on the opposite side so that
you cannot touch the hose during ironing.
Tighten up the filter.
Just press the trigger once again and the
iron will stop steaming at once.
