CAUSE
•
The appliance is not plugged into
a mains socket.
•
The iron is heating up.
•
The ironing system is set to
manual and regulated to low tem-
perature (less than ).
•
The steam pressure in the control
unit is too low.
•
The iron is set to one of the pro-
grammes which do not envisage
use of steam (Quick&go, synthe-
tics, silk).
•
Automatic iron shut off is set.
•
None of the above.
•
The maximum pressure safety
system has tripped.
•
The first operating cycle has not
been completed correctly.
•
Water has condensed inside the
tubes because steam is being used
for the first time, or has not been
used for some time.
•
The ironing system is positioned
on an unstable and/or sloping
surface.
•
Chemical water softeners or addi-
tives have been poured into the
water tank.
•
Some parts have been treated with
sealer/lubricant which evaporates
the first time the iron heats up.
•
Water is being pumped into the
steam generator.
SOLUTION

rectly connected and press the
ON/OFF button on the left of the
front control panel.
•

temperature as explained on page 15.

Wait for pressure in the control unit
to reach the rated value.
•
Select another programme.

turn on again. If the problem con-
tinues, contact an authorised
