Troubleshooting guide
Situation
After you have switched the
appliance on for the first time,
some smoke comes out of the
appliance.
Droplets of water escape from the
soleplate.
The appliance does not produce
steam.
You do not see steam coming out
of the soleplate.
The soleplate is dirty.
Likely cause
This is a normal phenomenon.
Some parts of the iron have been
greased lightly in the factory.
The temperature control (I) has
been set to a temperature that is
too low for steam-ironing.
The steam tank has been placed on
an unstable and/or uneven surface.
When you start steam-ironing the
hose is cold. Steam condenses in
the hose, causing droplets of water
to escape from the soleplate.
The pilot light
*
‘water tank empty’
is on (Types GC6005/6004 only).
The steam tank has not been
switched on.
Pilot light ‘steam tank heating up’ is
still on (Types GC6005/6004 only).
Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam
is hardly visible, especially when the
temperature control has been set
to maximum position, and even less
so when the ambient temperature
is relatively high.
Impurities or chemicals present in
the water have deposited on the
soleplate.
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures.
What to do
Nothing.After a short while this
phenomenon will cease.
Select the required ironing
temperature as indicated in these
instructions and the table.
Put the steam tank on a stable and
even surface.
This is a normal phenomenon. Hold
the iron over an old cloth and press
the steam activator button (H).The
cloth will absorb the drops.After a
few seconds the steam production
will have normalised.
Fill the water tank and put it on a
stable, even surface.
.
Set the on/off switch (D) to ‘on’.
Wait until the pilot light has gone
out.
To check if the iron is really
producing steam, hold a (cold)
mirror in front of the soleplate
vents.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, with some
washing-up liquid.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, with some
washing-up liquid.
Select the recommended ironing
temperature.
