- Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be
visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.
1 To set the appropriate ironing temperature, turn the temperature
dial to the appropriate position (see ‘Temperature and steam
settings table’) (Fig. 4).
2 Set the appropriate steam setting (see ‘Temperature and steam
settings table’).
Note: Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the set
ironing temperature.
3 Put the iron on its heel.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
,The temperature light goes on.
5 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start
ironing.
,During ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time.
This indicates that the iron is heating up to the set temperature.

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically
stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent
water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens you hear a

To let the iron heat up again:
1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
,The automatic shut-off light stops ashing.
,If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped below the set
ironing temperature, the temperature light goes on.
2 If the temperature light goes on after you have moved the iron,
wait for it to go out before you start ironing.
Note: If the temperature light does not go on after you move the iron, the
soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.

Note: Refer to chapter ‘General description’ for the specic type numbers.
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the
water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.
- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
The tablet is constantly active and does not need to be
replaced (Fig. 10).

ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.

There is a
connection
problem.
Check the mains cord, the plug
and the wall socket.
The temperature
dial is set to MIN.
Set the temperature dial to the
required position.
The iron does
not produce any
steam.
There is not
enough water in
the water tank.
Fill the water tank (see chapter

Problem Cause Solution
The iron is not hot
enough and/or the
drip-stop function
has been activated.
Set an ironing temperature
that is suitable for steam
ironing ( 2 to MAX). Put the
iron on its heel and wait until
the temperature light goes out
before you start ironing.
The steam
boost function
does not work
properly.
You have used the
steam boost
function too often
within a very
short period.
Continue ironing in horizontal
position and wait a while
before you use the steam
boost function again.
The iron is not hot
enough.
Set an ironing temperature at
which the steam boost
function can be used ( 3
to MAX). Put the iron on its
heel and wait until the
temperature light goes out
before you use the steam
boost function.
Flakes and
impurities come
out of the
soleplate during
ironing.
Hard water forms
akes inside the
soleplate.
Use the Calc-Clean function
one or more times (see
chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’, section ‘Calc-
Clean function’).
The light on the
handle ashes
(RI2860 only).
The automatic
shut-off function
has been activated
(see chapter
‘Features’, section
‘Automatic shut-
off’).
Pick the iron up or move it
slightly to deactivate the
automatic shut-off function.
The automatic shut-off light
goes out.

Problem Cause Solution
Water droplets
drip on the
fabric during
ironing.
You have not
closed the cap of
the lling opening
properly.
Press the cap until you hear a
click.
The set
temperature is too
low for steam
ironing.
Set an ironing temperature
that is suitable for steam
ironing ( 2 to MAX). Put the
iron on its heel and wait until
the temperature light goes out
before you start ironing.
You have put an
additive in the
water tank.
Rinse the water tank and do
not put any additive in the
water tank.
You have used the
steam boost
function at a
setting below
3.
Set the temperature dial to a
setting between 3 and
MAX.
You have used the
steam boost
function too often
within a short
period.
Continue ironing in horizontal
position and wait a while
before you use the steam
boost function again.
Water drips
from the
soleplate after
the iron has
cooled down or
has been stored.
You have put the
iron in horizontal
position while
there was still
water in the water
tank.
Empty the water tank and set
the steam control to position
0 after use. Store the iron on
its heel.

Problem Cause Solution
Water spots
appear on the
garment during
ironing.
These wet spots
may be caused by
steam that has
condensed onto
the ironing board.
Iron wet spots without steam
from time to time to dry them.
If the underside of
the ironing board
is wet, wipe it dry
with a piece of dry
cloth.
To prevent steam from
condensing onto the ironing
board, use an ironing board
with wire mesh top.
