Problem
Some smoke
comes out of the
appliance after it
has been
switched on for
the first time.
Dirt particles
come out of the
soleplate of the
new iron.
Droplets of
water escape
from the
soleplate.
The appliance
does not
produce any
steam.
No steam comes
out of the
soleplate.
The soleplate is
dirty.
Cause
This is normal. Some parts of the
appliance have been greased lightly in
the factory.
This is normal with a new iron.
The temperature dial has been set to a
temperature that is too low for steam
ironing.
The appliance is not switched on.
The steam tank has been placed on an
unstable and/or uneven surface.
When you start steam ironing, the hose
is cold. Steam condenses in the hose,
causing droplets of water to escape
from the soleplate.
The appliance is not switched on.
The steam tank is not hot enough to
produce steam.
You are not pressing the steam trigger.
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.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited on the soleplate.
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures.
Solution
This phenomenon ceases after a
short while.
These particles are harmless
and stop coming out of the
soleplate after you have used the
iron a few times.
Set an ironing temperature that is
suitable for steam ironing
(temperature settings 2 to
MAX).
Set the on/off switch to 'I'.
Put the steam tank on a stable and
even surface.
This is normal. Hold the iron over
an old cloth and press the steam
trigger. The cloth absorbs the
drops. After a few seconds, the
steam production becomes
normal.
Set the on/off switch to 'I'
Wait 6 minutes for the steam tank
to heat up.
Press the steam trigger and keep it
pressed while you steam iron.
To check if the iron really produces
steam, hold a (cold) mirror in front
of the soleplate vents.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth. Set the iron to the required
ironing temperature (see chapter
'Preparing for use', section 'Setting
the temperature').
