Problem
Dirty water and
impurities come out
of the soleplate or the
soleplate is dirty.
The iron leaves a shine
or an imprint on the
garment.
The iron produces a
pumping sound.
The iron produces a
loud pumping noise.
The iron steams
continuously when
placed horizontally on
the ironing board for
20-30 seconds.
Possible cause
Impurities or chemicals present in
the water have deposited in the
steam vents or on the soleplate.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because you
ironed over a seam or a fold in the
garment.
Water is being pumped into the
steam chamber. This is normal.
There is no water in the water tank.
The ironing board did not provide a
good lat support and this activated
the Auto Steam Sensor in the iron.
Solution
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
The iron is safe to use on all garments.
The shine or imprint is not permanent
and disappears when you wash the
garment. Avoid ironing over seams or
folds. You can also place a cotton cloth
over the area to be ironed to avoid
imprints.
If the pumping sound continues nonstop,
unplug the iron and contact the
Consumer Care Centre.
Fill the water tank (see chapter 'Using
the appliance', section 'Filling the water
tank').
Place the iron on its heel when you are
not ironing to prevent this problem.
