Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The ironing board
cover becomes
wet.
Steam has condensed 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 material under the ironing board cover
to prevent condensation on the ironing board.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
The steam that was still present
in the hose has cooled down
and condensed into water.
Point the iron away from the garment and let it
produce steam for a few seconds.
Steam and/or
water comes out
from under the
EASY DE-CALC
knob.
The EASY DE-CALC knob is
not tightened properly.
Switch off the appliance and wait for two hours
for steam generator to cool down. Unscrew
the EASY DE-CALC knob reattach it properly.
Note: When you remove the knob, water
comes out of the steam generator. If steam
continues to escape, switch off the appliance
and contact an authorised Philips service centre.
Dirty water
and impurities
come out of the
soleplate.
Impurities or chemicals present
in the water have deposited in
the steam vents and/or on the
soleplate.
Descale the steam generator regularly. See
section ‘Cleaning the soleplate’ in chapter
‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
Too much scale and minerals
have accumulated inside the
steam generator.
Descale the steam generator regularly.
See section ‘IMPORTANT - Descaling the
steam generator’ in chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
you were ironing over a seam or
a fold in the garment.
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The shine
or imprint is not permanent and will come off
if you wash the garment. Avoid ironing over
seams or folds or you can place a cotton cloth
over the area to be ironed to avoid imprints.
The steam
generator does
not produce any
steam.
There is not enough water in
the water tank (the ‘water tank
empty’ light flashes).
Fill the water tank.
The steam generator is not hot
enough to produce steam.
Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light on the iron lights
up continuously.
You did not press the steam
trigger.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed
while you steam iron.
The water tank is not placed
properly in the steam generator.
Slide the water tank firmly back into the steam
generator (‘click’).
The steam
generator
produces a
pumping sound.
Water is pumped into the boiler
inside the steam generator. This
is normal.
If the pumping sound continues nonstop, switch
off the steam generator and remove the plug
from the wall socket. Contact an authorised
Philips service centre.
