Solution
The iron leaves
a shine or an
imprint on the
garment.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
you were ironing over a seam
or a fold in the garment.
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The
shine or imprint is not permanent and
will come off if you wash the garment.
Avoid ironing over seams or folds or
you can place a cotton cloth over the
area to be ironed to avoid imprints at
seams and folds.
The appliance
does not produce
any steam.
There is not enough water
in the water tank (the ‘water
tank empty’ light flashes).
Fill the water tank (see chapter ‘Using
your appliance’, section ‘Filling the
water tank’).
The appliance is not hot
enough to produce steam.
Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light on the
iron lights up continuously.
You did not press the steam
trigger.
Press the steam trigger and keep it
pressed while you iron.
The water tank is not placed
in the appliance properly.
Slide the water tank back into the
appliance firmly (‘click’).
The appliance is not switched
on.
Insert the plug in the wall socket and
press the on/off button to switch on
the appliance.
The appliance has
switched off. The
light in the on/off
button flashes.
The auto-off function is
activated automatically
when the appliance has not
been used for more than 10
minutes.
Press the power on/off button to
switch on the appliance again.
The appliance
produces a
pumping sound.
Water is pumped into the
boiler inside the appliance.
This is normal.
If the pumping sound continues
nonstop, switch off the appliance and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
