Troubleshooting
Fault Possible cause Remedy
The appliance is
not working.
Fault with the power supply. Check whether the mains plug
is firmly in the mains socket.
The appliance is not switched on. Set the On/Off switch wto
the position "1" to switch the
appliance on.
The appliance
produces no/too
little steam.
There is not enough water in the
water tank 0.
Fill the water tank with water 0.
The appliance is not sufficiently
hot.
Wait until the temperature
indicator lamp goes out.
The temperature control 4has
been set in the –
range.
Set a temperature suitable for
steam ironing (setting range ).
The steam unit has not been used
for a long time or is being used
for the first time.
Hold the steam button 5down a
little longer. The steam takes a little
time until it comes out of the sole of
the iron 6.
Water drips out
of the sole of the
iron 6.
If steam ironing is paused briefly,
the cooling steam condenses in
the connecting hose 2.
This can lead to drips.
This is normal. Hold the iron over
a collecting cloth or container
and press the steam button 5.
Steam will discharge from the
sole of the iron 6instead of
water after a few seconds.
Then you can continue ironing.
The set temperature is too low for
steam ironing.
Set a temperature suitable for
steam ironing (setting range ).
Wet patches occur
on the items being
ironed.
Such areas can be caused by
steam condensing on the ironing
board.
Wipe the wetness from the
ironing board and iron the wet
patches dry (without steam).
NOTE
► If you are unable to resolve the problem by taking any of the aforementioned steps,
please contact the service department.
