Solution
Water flows
through the holes
on the soleplate.
1. The water is condensing
inside the tubes because
steam is being used for the
first time or has not been
used for a long time.
1. Point the iron away from the
ironing area and press the
steam release button until
steam is produced.
Dirt comes out
through the
soleplate.
1. There is a build up of
limescale or minerals in the
boiler and iron.
2. Chemical products or
additives have been used.
1. Carry out a cleaning cycle
(see the “Descaling process"
section).
2. Never add products to the
water (see the “Filling the
water tank” section).
Clean the soleplate with a
damp cloth.
The “Calc'nClean”
indicator light (2)
does not turn off.
1. The iron descaling process
has been stopped before
being completed.
1. Restart and complete the iron
descaling process.
The appliance
makes a pumping
sound.
1. Water is being pumped into
the steam tank.
2. The sound does not stop.
1. This is normal.
2. If the sound does not stop, do
not use the steam station and
contact an authorised
technical service centre.
Loss of pressure
during ironing.
1. The steam release button
has been activated for too
long a period of time,
meaning it has been pressed
too frequently.
1. Use the steam release button
at intervals.
Water spots
appear on the
garment during
ironing.
1. May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing
board.
1. Wipe the textile cover of the
ironing board, and iron any
water drops to dry them.
The hose gets hot
during use.
1. This is normal. It is caused
by the steam passing
through the hose during
steam ironing.
1. Place the hose on the
opposite side so that you do
not touch the hose during
ironing.
Water leakage
from the boiler.
1. Boiler cap (8) is loose.
1. Tighten the cap.
