not switched on.
• The temperature is set to a
low position.

components on the

may produce a little smoke
when initially heated.
• During subsequent use: the
soleplate may be soiled.
• The steam function is being
used before it has reached
the correct temperature.
• The water is condensing
inside the pipes because
steam is being used for the
irst time or has not been
used for a long time.

contains too much scale.

or minerals in the steam
tank.
