Trouble shooting
Problem
Possible causes
Solution
The iron begins to
smoke when
switched on.
1. During first use: certain
components on the
appliance have been lightly
greased at the factory and
may produce a small
amount of smoke when
initially heated.
2. During subsequent use: the
soleplate may be soiled.
1. This is completely normal and
will stop after a short while.
2. Clean the soleplate according
to the cleaning instructions in
this manual.
Water flows
through the holes
on the soleplate.
1. The water is condensing
inside the tubes because
steam is being used for the
first time or has not been
used for a long time.
1. Point the iron away from the
ironing area and press the
steam release button until
steam is produced.
Dirt comes out
through the
soleplate.
1. There is a build up of
limescale or minerals in the
boiler and iron.
2. Chemical products or
additives have been used.
1. Carry out a cleaning cycle
(see the “Descaling process"
section).
2. Never add products to the
water (see the “Filling the
water tank” section).
Clean the soleplate with a
damp cloth.
The “Calc'nClean”
indicator light (3)
does not turn off.
1. The iron descaling process
has been stopped before
being completed.
1. Restart and complete the iron
descaling process.
