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 subsequent use: the 

soleplate may be soiled. 

• This is completely normal and will stop 

after a short while. 

• Clean the soleplate according to the 

cleaning instructions in this manual. 

Water flows through 

the holes on the 

soleplate. 

• The steam function is being used 

before it has reached the correct 

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. 

• The steam generator contains too 

much scale.

• Reduce the steam flow when ironing at 

low temperatures.

• Point the iron away from the ironing 

area and press the steam release 

button until steam is produced. 

• Clean the boiler as described in 

section “Calc'n'Clean Advanced” (E).

Steam production consumes the most energy. To 

help minimise the energy used, follow the advice 

below:

•  Start by ironing the fabrics that require the 

lowest ironing temperature. 

Check the recommended ironing temperature 

in the label on the garment.

•  Regulate the steam according to the selected 

ironing temperature, following the instructions 

in this manual.

•  Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp 

and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be 

generated from the fabrics rather than the iron. 

If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing 

them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’ 

programme.

•  If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the 

steam regulator completely.

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 secondary raw 

materials. Your local town council can give you 

information about how to dispose of obsolete 

appliances.
