before you empty the water reservoir and/or clean the device and store it away.

Problem
Possible cause/solution
The device does not
work. The tempera-
ture control lamp
does not light up.
• Is the mains plug correctly inserted into the socket?
• Is the plug socket defective? Try a different socket and
check the fuse of your mains connection.
No steam is pro-
duced.
• Is the water reservoir
fi
lled with water?
• The device has not yet reached operating temperature.
Wait until the temperature control lamp lights up constantly.
• Is the temperature control on a low temperature setting?
Select a higher temperature setting.
• Has the device overheated? The safety switch-off function
was activated. Pull the plug out of the plug socket, wait
until the device has cooled down, plug the mains plug into
a mains socket so that the device switches back on and
heats up again.
