Problem Cause Solution
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth. Set the iron to the required
ironing temperature (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting
the temperature’).
Steam escapes
from the illing
hole area during
ironing.
You may not have tightened the steam
tank cap properly or you have spilled
some water around the illing hole
Switch off the appliance and let it
cool down. Remove the steam tank
cap, wipe away the water round the
illing hole and tighten the steam
tank cap again. Then switch on the
appliance again.
Wet spots
appear on the
garment during
ironing
The wet spots that appear on your
garment after you have steam ironed
for some time may be caused by
steam that has condensed onto the
ironing board. Iron the wet spots
without steam for some time to dry
them. If the underside of the ironing
board is wet, wipe it dry with a piece
of dry cloth.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh top.
I cannot put the
iron on its heel.
This iron has been designed in such a
way that it can only be placed
horizontally.
Place the iron on the heat-resistant
iron resting mat.
