Problem
Steam escapes
from under the
Calc-Clean rinsing
cap when the
appliance heats
up.
The iron does
not produce
enough steam/the
amount of steam
decreases and
increases during
steam ironing.
Wet spots appear
on the fabric
during ironing.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate when I
use the shot-of-
steam function.
Cause
You have not tightened the Calc-clean
rinsing cap properly.
When the appliance pumps water into
the steam generator, the steam amount
sometimes decreases. This is probably
when you think that the iron does not
produce enough steam. However, this is
a normal phenomenon and the steam
output normalises within a few seconds.
The wet spots that appear on the fabric
after you have steam ironed for some
time may be caused by steam that has
condensed onto the ironing board. Iron
the wet spots without steam for some
time to dry them. If the underside of the
ironing board is wet, wipe it with a piece
of dry cloth.
Steam may have condensed in the hose,
the temperature may have been set
below 3 or the appliance may not
be ready for steam ironing.
EnGlish
Solution
Switch off the appliance, tighten
the Calc-Clean rinsing cap and
switch on the appliance again. If
steam continues to escape when
the appliance is heating up, switch
off the appliance and contact a
service centre authorised by
Philips.
To optimise the steam output,
release the steam lock when you
do not need steam and when you
put down the iron.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh
top.
Make sure the temperature is set
to 3 or higher. Steam iron for
a few seconds before you use the
shot-of-steam function.
