Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Dirty water

and impurities

come out of

the soleplate or

the soleplate is

dirty.

Impurities or chemicals

present in the water have

deposited in the steam

vents and/or on the

soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth

(see chapter ‘IMPORTANT - DESCAL-

ING’, section ‘Descaling the soleplate of

the iron’).

The ironing

board cover

becomes wet

or there are

water droplets

on the garment

during ironing.

This may be caused by

steam condensing on the

ironing board cover after

a long ironing session.

Replace the ironing board cover if the

foam material has worn out. You can

also add an extra layer of felt mate-

rial under the ironing board cover to

prevent condensation on the ironing

board. You can buy felt in a fabric shop.
