Solution
This phenomenon will cease after a
short while.
These particles are harmless and they
will stop coming out of the soleplate
when you have used the iron a few
times.
Select an ironing temperature that is
suitable for steam ironing
(temperature settings
2
to MAX).
Set the iron switch to 'on' and wait
until the iron is hot.
Put the steam tank on a stable and
even surface.
This is normal. Hold the iron over an
old cloth and press the steam
activator.The cloth will absorb the
drops. After a few seconds the steam
production will have normalised.
Set both the iron switch and the
steam tank switch to 'on'.
Wait 6 to 8 minutes for the steam
tank to heat up.
To check if the iron is really producing
steam, hold a (cold) mirror in front of
the soleplate vents.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth. Select the recommended
ironing temperature.
Possible cause
This is normal. Some parts of the iron
have been greased lightly in the
factory.
This is normal with a new iron.
The temperature dial has been set to
a temperature that is too low for
steam ironing.
The iron is not switched on.
The steam tank has been placed on
an unstable and/or uneven surface.
When you start steam ironing, the
hose is cold. Steam condenses in the
hose, causing droplets of water to
escape from the soleplate.
The steam tank and/or the iron
has/have not been switched on.
The steam tank is not hot enough to
produce steam.
Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam
is hardly visible, especially when the
temperature dial has been set to
maximum position and even less so
when the ambient temperature is
relatively high.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited on the
soleplate.
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures.
Problem
Some smoke comes out of the
appliance after it has been switched on
for the first time.
Dirt particles come out of the
soleplate of the new iron.
Droplets of water escape from the
soleplate.
The appliance does not produce any
steam.
There is no steam coming out of the
soleplate.
The soleplate is dirty.
