Trouble shooting Problem Possible causes Solution The steam generator does not come on. • There is a connection problem. • The steam tank and/or main power button is not switched on. • Check the mains cable, the plug and the socket. • Press the button for main power (5) ON. The iron does not heat up. • The main power button is not switched on. • The temperature control knob is set to the “min” position. • Press the main power button (5) ON. • Set the temperature control knob (11) to the desired position. The iron begins to smoke when switched on. • During first use: Certain components on the appliance have been lightly greased at the factory and may produce a little smoke when initially heated. • During later use: the sole plate may be soiled. • This is completely normal and will stop after a short while. • Clean the sole plate (14) according to the cleaning instructions in this manual. Water flows through the holes on the sole plate. • The steam function is being used before it has reached temperature. • The water is condensing inside the pipes because steam is being used for the first time or has not been used for a long time. • Reduce the steam flow when ironing at low temperatures (With the steam control 3). • Point the iron away from the ironing area and press the steam release button (12) until steam is produced. Dirt comes out through the sole plate. • There is a build-up of scale or minerals in the steam tank. • Chemical products or additives have been used. • Use tap water mixed 50% with distilled or demineralised water. • Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. • Never add products to the boiler water. The iron does not produce any steam. • The boiler is not switched on or the water tank is empty. • The water tank is not fitted onto the steam tank correctly. • The steam regulator is set to the minimum position. • Set the switch (5) to the ON position and/or fill the water tank. • Fit the water tank back onto the steam tank correctly. • Increase the steam flow by turning the steam control (3) to a higher setting. The ironed garment turns dark and/or sticks to the soleplate. • The selected temperature is too high and has damaged the garment. • Select a suitable temperature for the material being ironed and clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. The sole plate turns brown. • This is a regular consequence of usage. • Clean the sole plate regularly with a damp cloth. The appliance makes a pumping sound. • Water is being pumped into the steam tank. • The sound will not stop. • This is normal. • If the sound will not stop, do not use the steam generator and contact an authorised technical service centre. Loss of pressure during ironing. Steam release button activated during a long period of time. Use the steam release button (12) with intervals. This improves the ironing result as the textiles will be dried and stay smooth better. Water leakage from the boiler Drainage plug located at the bottom of the appliance is loose.
