Possible cause
There is a connection problem.
The appliance is not switched on.
The set ironing temperature is too
low.
This is normal. Some parts of the
appliance have been greased lightly in
the factory.
Water is pumped into the boiler
inside the steam generator.This is
normal
There is not enough water in the
water tank.
The steam generator is not hot
enough to produce steam.
You are not pressing the steam trigger. Press the steam trigger and keep it
The water tank is not placed properly
in the appliance.
Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam is
hardly visible, especially when the
temperature dial is set to maximum
position and even less so when the
ambient temperature is relatively high.
The appliance is not switched on.
When you start steam ironing and
when you continue steam ironing
after an interruption, the steam that
was still present in the hose has
cooled down and condensed into
water. This causes water droplets to
come out of the soleplate.
The temperature dial is set to a
temperature that is too low for steam
ironing.
Solution
Check the mains cord, the plug
and the wall socket.
Set the power knob with steam
control to a steam setting.
Set a higher ironing temperature.
This phenomenon ceases after a
short while.
If the pumping sound continues
non-stop, switch off the appliance
immediately and unplug it. Contact
an authorised Philips service centre.
Fill the water tank.
Wait until the steam setting light
stays on.
pressed while you steam iron.
Slide the water tank irmly back into
the steam generator ('click').
To check if the iron really produces
steam, set the iron to a lower
temperature setting between
2 and 3 for more visible
steam.
Set the power knob with steam
control to a steam setting.
This is normal. Hold the iron over
an old cloth and press the steam
trigger. The cloth absorbs the drops.
After a few seconds, steam instead
of water comes out of the soleplate.

suitable for steam ironing
