the iron is not hot enough.

Wait for the indicator light to turn
off.

button (turbo steam) too often.

Wait a few seconds between each

collector to fill up your iron.

Do not remove the anti-calc collector
when filling the iron.

The steam control dial is not set

to 

when filling the water tank.

Ensure that the steam control dial is

set to 

when filling the water tank.

A brown
discharge 
coming from 
the soleplate 
is staining the
clothing. 

You are using chemical descaling
agents.

Do not introduce a descaling agent
into the water tank.

You are not using the right type

sufficiently or you are ironing a
new item of clothing before
washing it.

Ensure that your laundry is
sufficiently rinsed to eliminate
potential soap deposits or chemical
