Possible causes
1. This is a regular consequence
of continued use over a long
period of time.
1. Water is being pumped into
the steam tank.
2. The water tank is not fitted
onto the housing correctly.
3. The sound will not stop.
1. Steam release button has
been activated for too long a
period of time, that is, it has
been pressed too frequently.
1. May be caused by steam
condensed on the ironing
board.
1. Water spots are caused by
steam condensation in the
hose when cooling down after
use.
1. This is normal. It is caused by
the steam passing through the
hose during steam ironing.
1. Scale collector (12) located at
the bottom of the appliance is
loose.
1. "PulseSteam" function has
been activated.
Solution
1. Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
1. This is normal.
2. Fit the water tank back onto the
hou sing correctly.
3. If the sound will not stop, do not use
the steam generator and contact an
authorised technical service centre.
1. Use the steam release button at
intervals. This improves the ironing
result as the textiles will be steamed,
dried and ironed properly.
1. Wipe the textile cover of the ironing
board, and iron any water drops to
dry them.
1. Water drops stop coming out of the
soleplate after using the
"PulseSteam" function for some
time.
1. Place the hose on the opposite side
so that you cannot touch the hose
during ironing.
Tighten up the scale collector.
1. Just press the trigger once again
and the iron will stop steaming at
once.
