1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Empty the
water tank (10).
2 Place the iron on the steam station, standing on the
pad (13).
If your steam station is equipped with iron lock system
(14*), fix the iron to it. First insert the heel and then
block the tip moving the lock system against the iron.
3 Store the steam hose (6) and the mains cable (7) on
the storage holder (8).
Possible causes
1. During first use: certain
components on the
appliance have been lightly
greased at the factory and
may produce a small
amount of smoke when
initially heated.
2. During subsequent use: the
soleplate may be soiled.
1. The water is condensing
inside the tubes because
steam is being used for the
first time or has not been
used for a long time.
1. There is a build up of
limescale or minerals in the
boiler and iron.
2. Chemical products or
additives have been used.
Solution
1. This is completely normal and
will stop after a short while.
2. Clean the soleplate according
to the cleaning instructions in
this manual.
1. Point the iron away from the
ironing area and press the
steam release button until
steam is produced.
1. Carry out a cleaning cycle
(see the "Descaling process"
section).
2. Never add products to the
water (see the "Filling the
water tank" section).
Clean the soleplate with a
damp cloth.
