HOW TO SOLVE THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS
PROBLEM EXPLANATION SOLUTION
1) Does steam
go out from the
boiler?
It may happen that, while filling
the tank, some water spills over
the cap and flows inside the
boiler wetting the insulating
material
In order to solve the problem, we suggest
using the machine as usual so to dry up the
insulating material through the heat of the
machine. In case you still have this problem
after one working hour, please contact the
service shop
2) Does the steam
iron leak steam
mixed with water?
While filling the tank you may
have poured too much water
into it.
The problem will go on until the excess water
is emptied. Keep the steam button depressed
until the water in the tank is at the correct
level.
The iron plate has to be hot
before the steam passage
Please check that the temperature knob is
on the right position: “cotton °°°)”
3) Does not
the iron give off
steam?
The iron button might be off
Push the iron button the red le comes on; wait
for 4 minutes so that the iron plate warms
The boiler button might be off
Push the boiler button the red led comes on:
wait for 10 minutes so the boiler produces
steam.
The water might be used up
(the low water light indicator
might be on)
Fill it to the required level following the
instructions carefully.
4) Does the
ironing board
wet?
The ironing board cover might
not be able to absorb the steam
completely
You might use a thicker cover (or two covers)
so to create a thicker surface to absorb the
steam better. In case you are using a vacuum
table, switch on the vacuum function each
time you are using the steam
The steam iron leaks steam
mixed with water (check by
spraying some steam on a dry
cloth)
See # 2
5) Does the iron
leak dirty water?
Maybe there is some dirty water
might have gone into the tank
and it is given off from the iron.
Fill the empty tank with 1 liter of water, screw
the cap up, shake it, open the cap and empty
the tank. Repeat the action until the water is
cleaned. We do not recommend the use of any
additive to pour in the tank. Before ironing
again spray some steam on a cloth until clean
steam comes out.
