Situation
When placing the water tank into
the appliance some water is spilt
over the cap.
The water tank is filled with
water and placed into the
appliance.
But yet pilot light * ("Water tank
empty") remains on.
The appliance is noisy.
When switched on for the first
time, the water tank suddenly
becomes half-empty (although
you have not yet used any
steam).
The appliance produces steam,
but the sound of the pump is not
regular.
After switching on for the first
time some smoke comes from
the appliance.
Drops of water come from the
soleplate.
Likely cause
Too much water in the water
tank.
The water tank has not been
placed correctly into the
appliance.
The appliance vibrates on the
surface it is placed on.
The water tank is not correctly
placed into the appliance.
This is a normal phenomenon.
Only with first use the steam
tank is automatically filled with
0.3 litre of water.
This is a normal phenomenon.
A microcomputer controls the
pump which automatically
transfers small quantities of
water from the water tank into
the steam tank.
This is a normal phenomenon.
Some parts of the iron have
been greased lightly in the
factory.
The temperature dial (K) has
been set to a temperature which
is too low for steam ironing.
The steam tank is placed on an
unstable and/or uneven surface.
When starting steam ironing the
supply hose is too cold. Steam
condenses in the hose and
escapes from the soleplate.

temperature as indicated in
these instructions. (Also refer to
the table.)
Place the steam tank on a stable

iron" it.
After a few seconds the iron will
start producing steam.
