Solution
The ironed garment
turns dark and/or sticks
to the soleplate.
• The selected temperature is too
high and has damaged the
garment.
• Select a suitable temperature for the
material being ironed and clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
The soleplate turns
brown.
• This is a regular consequence of
usage.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
The appliance makes a
pumping sound.
• Water is being pumped into the
steam tank.
• Water tank (1) is not correctly
inserted in the housing.
• The sound will not stop.
• This is normal.
• Adjust the water tank correctly.
• If the sound will not stop, do not use the
steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
Loss of pressure during
ironing.
• Steam release button activated
during a long period of time.
• Use the steam release button at intervals.
This improves the ironing result as the
textiles will be dry and stay smooth better.
Water spots appear on
the garment during
ironing.
• May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing board.
• Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron the spots without steam to
dry them.
Water spots appear on
the garment during use
of the “pulseSteam”
function.
• Water spots are caused by steam
condensation in the hose when
cooling down after use.
• Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the “pulseSteam”
function for some time.
The hose gets hot
during use.
• This is normal.It is caused by the
steam passing through the hose
during steam ironing.
• Place the hose on the opposite side so
that you cannot touch the hose during
ironing.
Water leakage from the
boiler.
• Filter (12) located at the side of the
appliance is loose.
• Tighten up the filter.
The iron does not stop
steaming after placing it
on the pad (2).
• “pulseSteam” function activated by
double click.
• Just press the trigger once again and the
iron will stop steaming at once.
If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with the authorised technical service.
