This chapter summarises the most common problems you could
encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with
the information below, please contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in
your country.
Problem Possible cause and solution
The appliance does not
become hot. There is a connection problem. Check the mains cord, the plug and the wall socket.
The appliance has not been switched on. Set the on/off knob to ‘on’.
The set temperature is too low. Set a higher temperature.
Smoke comes out of
my new ironing system
when I switch it on.
Some parts of the appliance have been lightly greased in the factory and
may initially give off some smoke when heated.This phenomenon is perfectly
normal and ceases after a short while
The appliance does not
produce any steam. There is not enough water in the water tank. Fill the water tank.
The steam generator has not heated up sufciently. Wait approx. 2 minutes.
The set ironing temperature is too low for steam ironing. Select a
temperature of 2or higher.
The water tank is not placed properly in the steam generator. Place the water
tank properly in the steam generator (‘click’).
ENGLISH12

Problem Possible cause and solution
When the temperature dial is set to a very high temperature, the steam
produced is dry and hardly visible. It is even less visible when the ambient
temperature is relatively high and it is entirely invisible when the temperature
is set to MAX. Set the temperature dial to a lower temperature, e.g. 2, to
check if the iron produces steam.
The Auto Calc Clean process is activated.Wait for approximately 4 minutes
for the appliance to be ready for steam ironing.
Water droplets come
out of the soleplate When you start steam ironing and when you continue steam ironing after an interruption, the steam that was still present in the supply hose has cooled
down and condensed into water.This causes water droplets to come out of
the soleplate.This happens sometimes when you start ironing or continue
ironing after an interruption. Hold the iron over an old cloth and press the
steam trigger.Wait until steam instead of water comes out of the soleplate.
The set temperature is too low for steam ironing. Set a temperature of 2
or higher.
The wet spots that appear on your garment after you have steam ironed for
some time may be caused by steam that has condensed onto the ironing
board. Iron the wet spots without steam for some time to dry them. If the
underside of the ironing board is wet, wipe it dry with a piece of dry cloth.
Steam may have condensed in the hose, the temperature may have been set
below 3or the appliance may not be ready for steam ironing.
Flakes and impurities
come out of the
soleplate or the
soleplate is dirty.
Impurities or chemicals present in the water have deposited in the steam
vents and/or on the soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
The appliance produces
a pumping sound. Water is pumped into the boiler inside the steam generator.This is normal. However, if the pumping sound does not stop, switch off the appliance
immediately and unplug it. Contact an authorised Philips service centre.
Water leaks out of the
steam generator. The Calc Clean tank has overowed during the Auto Calc Clean process. Always empty the Calc Clean tank after the Calc Clean process.This prevents
the Calc Clean tank from overowing the next time the auto Calc Clean
process is performed.
The appliance
occasionally produces a
loud pumping noise and
clicking sound.
This happens during the Auto Calc Clean process.Water is pumped from
the water tank into the steam generator, and expelled into the Calc Clean
tank.Wait a few minutes for the appliance to complete the Auto Calc Clean
process. Empty the Calc Clean tank and then top up the water tank. The Auto
Calc Clean process is a normal process that is performed automatically at
regular intervals.
I cannot place the iron
on its heel. To make the appliance more ergonomic, it has been designed in such a way that the iron can only be put down horizontally. Place the iron horizontally on
the heat-resistant iron resting mat.The mat can be left on top of the steam
generator or you can place the mat on the ironing board. Do not place
the hot iron directly onto the ironing board without the heat-resistant iron
resting mat.
ENGLISH 13

Problem Possible cause and solution
The appliance beeps
continuously. The water tank has gone empty during the Auto Calc Clean process. Fill the water tank.
The Calc Clean tank
light ashes. The Auto Calc Clean process is completed. Empty the Calc Clean tank. Do not unplug the appliance when you do this.
The cord is not wound
completely when I press
the cord rewind button.
The cord is stuck inside the cord rewind system. Pull the cord out of the
appliance and press the cord rewind button again.
Environment
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste
at the end of its life, but hand it in at an ofcial collection point for
recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.


Kontrollér, om den angivne netspænding på apparatet svarer til den
lokale netspænding, før du slutter strøm til apparatet.
Brug ikke apparatet, hvis stik, netledning, dampslange eller selve
apparatet viser tegn på beskadigelse, hvis apparatet er blevet tabt,
eller det er utæt.
Hvis ledningen eller dampslangen beskadiges, må de kun udskiftes af
Philips, et autoriseret Philips-serviceværksted eller af en kvaliceret
fagmand for at undgå enhver risiko ved efterfølgende brug.
Hold altid apparatet under opsyn, når det er sluttet til lysnettet.
Dette apparat er ikke beregnet til at blive brugt af personer (herunder
børn) med nedsatte fysiske og mentale evner, nedsat følesans eller
manglende erfaring og viden, medmindre de er blevet vejledt eller
instrueret i apparatets anvendelse af en person, der er ansvarlig for
deres sikkerhed.
Apparatet bør holdes uden for børns rækkevidde for at sikre, at de ikke
kan komme til at lege med det.
Lad ikke netledningen og dampslangen komme i kontakt med den
varme strygesål på strygejernet.
Rul netledningen helt ud, før du sætter den i stikkontakten.

Apparatet må kun sluttes til en stikkontakt med jordforbindelse.
Kontrollér med jævne mellemrum, at netledningen og dampslangen er
hele og ubeskadigede.
Placér og brug altid strygejern og damptank på et stabilt, plant og
vandret underlag.
Strygesålen kan blive utrolig varm og forårsage brandsår ved berøring.
Når du er færdig med at stryge, når du rengør apparatet, og når du
forlader strygejernet – selv om det kun er i et kort øjeblik – skal du
placere strygejernet på den varmebestandige afsætningsmåtte, slukke
for apparatet og tage stikket ud af stikkontakten.
Dette apparat er kun beregnet til almindelig husholdningsbrug.
