Problem

Cause

Solution

Some smoke 

comes out of the 

appliance after it 

has been 

switched on for 

the first time.

This is normal. Some parts of the 

appliance have been greased lightly in 

the factory.

This phenomenon ceases after a 

short while.

Dirt particles 

come out of the 

soleplate of the 

new iron.

This is normal with a new iron.

These particles are harmless 

and stop coming out of the 

soleplate after you have used the 

iron a few times.

Droplets of 

water escape 

from the 

soleplate.

The temperature dial has been set to 

a temperature that is too low for 

steam ironing.

Set an ironing temperature that is 

suitable for steam ironing 

(temperature settings 2 to MAX).

The appliance is not switched on.

Set the on/off switch to ‘I’.

The steam tank has been placed on an 

unstable and/or uneven surface.

Put the steam tank on a stable and 

even surface.

When you start steam ironing, the 

hose is cold. Steam condenses in the 

hose, causing droplets of water to 

escape from the soleplate.

This is normal. Hold the iron over an 

old cloth and press the steam trigger. 

The cloth absorbs the drops. After a 

few seconds, the steam production 

becomes normal.

The appliance 

does not 

produce any 

steam.

The appliance is not switched on.

Set the on/off switch to ‘I’

The steam tank is not hot enough to 

produce steam.

Wait 6 minutes for the steam tank 

to heat up.

You are not pressing the steam trigger. Press the steam trigger and keep it 

pressed while you steam iron.

There is not enough water in the 

steam tank.

Fill the steam tank. See chapter 

‘Preparing for use - Filling the Steam 

tank’.
