Troubleshooting

Problem Possible cause Solution

Soleplate is not heating even though iron is

turned on.

Connection problem Check main power supply cable, plug and

outlet.

Temperature control is in MIN position. Select adequate temperature.

Iron does not produce steam. Not enough water in tank. Fill water tank (see “Getting started”, no 2).

Steam control is selected in non-steam position. Set steam control between positions of

minimum steam and maximum steam (see

“Ironing chart”).

Spray function does not work. Not enough water in tank. Fill water tank (see “Getting started”, no 2).

Steam jet and vertical steam jet function does

not work.

Steam jet function was used very frequently

within a short period.

Put iron on horizontal position and wait

before using steam jet function.

Iron is not hot enough. Adjust the proper temperature to steam

ironing (up to

). Put iron in vertical

position and wait until temperature indicator

light turns o .

Water leaks from the soleplate during ironing. The iron is not hot enough. Set the temperature dial to a temperature

(

to maximum) suitable for steam ironing.

Put the iron on its heel and wait until the light

has gone out before you start ironing.

Flakes and impurities come out of the

soleplate during ironing.

You have used hard water, which has caused

scale  akes to develop in the water tank.

Use the self-clean function one or more times.

Water leaks from the soleplate while the iron is

cooling down or after it has been stored.

The iron has been put in horizontal position

while there is still water in the water tank.
