Problem
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
Flakes and
impurities come
out of the
soleplate or the
soleplate is dirty.
The appliance
produces a
pumping sound.
The iron
produces steam
continuously.
Dirty water
comes out of the
soleplate.
Cause
The set ironing temperature is too low
for steam ironing.
You have set steam setting a
(no steam).
You have not placed the water
tank properly in the steam generator.
When the iron is set to a very high
temperature, the steam produced is dry
and hardly visible. It is even less visible
when the ambient temperature is
relatively high and it is entirely invisible
when the temperature is set to MAX.
The set temperature is too low for
steam ironing.
When you start steam ironing and
when you stop steam ironing for a
while, the steam still present in the
supply hose cools down and condenses
into water. This causes water droplets to
come out of the soleplate.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited in the steam vents
and/or on the soleplate.
Water is pumped into the steam
generator.
The pumping sound does not stop.
The steam lock has been set to 'on'.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam generator.
Solution
Set a temperature of 2 or
higher.
Set steam setting ECO, [
(moderate steam) or p
(maximum steam).
Place the water tank properly in
the steam generator ('click').
Set the iron to a lower
temperature, e.g. 2, to check if
the iron actually produces steam.
Set a temperature of 2 or
higher.
This is normal. When you start
ironing or when you continue
ironing after an interruption, hold
the iron over an old cloth and
press the steam trigger. Wait until
steam instead of water comes out
of the soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
This is normal.
Unplug the iron immediately and
contact an authorised Philips
service centre.
Set the steam lock to 'off ' if you
only want to obtain steam when
you press the steam trigger (see
section 'Steam lock function').
Rinse the steam generator. See
chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance'.
