What to do, if ...
• no “steam” appears when using on a
steam setting?
– In warm, dry air (during the winter),
reduced amounts of vapour are nor-
mal because it is absorbed by the dry
air before condensing.
– Emptying the filled water reservoir
can wash out fluff. Remove the
mains cord and tip the filled appli-
ance forwards at an angle (Figure 7)
so that the water can run out of the
filling aperture.
• drops of water are coming out of the
steam exit holes?
– Do not set the steam selector to
position “1” or higher until the tem-
perature for steam ironing has been
reached. If the temperature has been
set too low for steam ironing
increase the setting.
• stains appear on the washing while
ironing?
– Clean the steam iron. Rub the sole-
plate while still warm with a mixture
of water and vinegar or with a non-
abrasive cleaning agent.
– When dry ironing fluff can enter the
steam chambers and carbonise. This
can lead to stains as the water
passes through. Therefore also clean
the inside of the water reservoir. Fill
it with water and gently shake the
steam iron. Then pour the water out.
• the soleplate is rough or furred?
– The iron temperature was set too
high.
– Select the correct ironing tempera-
ture for the fabric (see ironing
table).
