The light of the
Calc-Clean button
flashes and the
appliance beeps
every time I press
the steam trigger.
No steam comes
out of the
soleplate.
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-Clean
process.
Perform the Calc-Clean process to enable
the steam function again (see chapter
‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and

The appliance has
switched off.
The safety auto-off function
was activated. This happens
automatically when the steam
generator has not been used
for more than 5 minutes.
Set the on/off switch to ‘off’ position and
then to ‘on’ position.
The appliance
produces a loud
pumping sound.
The water tank is empty. Fill the water tank with water and press the
steam trigger until the pumping sound
becomes softer and steam comes out of
the soleplate.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
After the Calc-Clean process,
remaining water may drip out
of the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate dry with a piece of
cloth. If the light in the Calc-Clean button
still flashes and the appliance still beeps,
perform the Calc-Clean process (see
chapter ‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and
maintenance’).
The Calc-Clean process has
not been completed.
You have to perform the Calc-Clean

of the soleplate.
You have accidentally started
the Calc-Clean process (see

Switch off the appliance. Then switch it
back on again. Let the iron heat up until the
‘iron ready’ light lights up steadily.
The Calc-Clean
process does not
start.
You have not pressed the
Calc-Clean button for 2
seconds until the appliance
started beeping.
See chapter ‘IMPORTANT - Cleaning and
maintenance’.
The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
you were ironing over a seam
or a fold in the garment.
Perfect Care is safe on all garments.
The shine or imprint is not permanent and
will disappear when you wash the garment.
Avoid ironing over seams or folds or you
can place a cotton cloth over the area to
be ironed to avoid imprints.
