Problem

Possible cause

Solution

The iron does 

not produce 

any steam.

There is not 

enough water in 

the water tank.

Fill the water tank (see chapter 

‘Using the appliance’, section 

‘Filling the water tank’).

The steam control 

is set to position O.

Set the steam control to the 

small cloud or large cloud (see 

chapter ‘Using the appliance, 

section ‘Selecting temperature 

and steam setting’).

The steam 

boost function 

does not 

work properly 

(specific types 

only).

You have used the 

steam boost 

function too often 

within a very short 

period.

Put the iron on its heel or 

continue ironing in horizontal 

position and wait a while before 

you use the steam boost 

function again.

The iron is not hot 

enough.

Set an ironing temperature at 

which the steam boost function 

can be used ( 3 to MAX). 

Put the iron on its heel and wait 

until the temperature light goes 

out before you use the steam 

boost function.

Flakes and 

impurities 

come out of 

the soleplate 

during ironing.

Hard water forms 

flakes inside the 

soleplate.

Use the Calc-Clean function 

one or more times (see chapter 

‘Cleaning and maintenance’, 

section ‘Calc-Clean function’).
