1. The temperature is too high.
1. Turn the temperature control (12) down
and wait until the iron has cooled down.
Water drips out of
the soleplate (7)
together with
steam.
1. Temperature control (12) setting
is too low.
2. Steam regulator (3) is set too
high in conjunction with a low
temperature.
3. You have pressed the shot of
steam button (2) repeatedly
without waiting for 5 seconds
between each press.
1. Turn the temperature control to a higher
setting (between “••” and “max”) and wait
until the light (13) goes out.
2. Set the steam regulator (3) to a lower

1. This is normal and will stop after a few

Excessive dripping
or steaming.
1. No proper closing of

1. Carry out a cleaning cycle
(see “Calc’nClean” section).
If none of the above solves the problem, get in touch with an authorised technical service.
