Advice on disposal
Our goods come in optimised packaging. This basically
consists in using non-contaminating materials which should
be handed over to the local waste disposal service as sec-
-
ondary raw materials. Your local town council can give you
information about how to dispose of obsolete appliances.
Problem Possible causes Solution
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 (Variable steam control (5)).
• Point the iron away from the ironing area
and press the steam release button (17)
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 (4) to the “Start” position
and/or fill the water tank.
• Fit the water tank back onto the steam tank
correctly (you will hear a click).
• Increase the steam flow by turning the
steam control (5).
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 and clean the sole plate with
a damp cloth.
The soleplate turns
brown.
• This is a regular consequence of usage. • Clean the soleplate 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 (17) with intervals.
This improves the ironing result as the textiles
will be dried and stay smooth better.
The iron does not
stop steaming after
placing it on the pad.
• “Intelligent steam” function activated. • Just press the trigger once again and the
iron will stop steaming at once.
