Problem

Possible cause

Solution

You have an ironing board 
cover that is not designed 
to cope with the high steam 
rate of the appliance.

Put an extra layer of felt material under
the ironing board cover to prevent 
condensation on the ironing board.
You can buy felt in a fabric shop.

Water droplets 
drips onto the 
garment during 
ironing.

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. 

You have not closed the 
water tank lid properly.

Press the lid until you hear a ‘click’.

You have not insert 
the Quick Calc Release 
collector properly back 
to the appliance (specific 
types only).

Stop ironing and let the iron cools down for at 
least 1 hour. Take out the Quick Calc Release 
collector. Insert it back into the appliance and 
ensure the collector is in-line with the surface 
of the appliance. Push down the lever (“click”). 
If the Quick Calc release tray is damaged, 
contact a consumer care center in your country 
(see the world wide guarantee leaflet for 
contact details).  

You have put a chemical 
into the water tank.

Rinse the water tank and do not put any 
perfume or chemicals into the water tank.

The iron does not 
produce a steam 
boost

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.

You are ironing before the 
iron gets ready

Wait until the iron is ready (the light on the 
display panel stops flashing).

Dirty water 
and impurities 
come out of the 
soleplate during 
ironing. 

Hard water with impurities 
or chemicals has formed 
flakes inside the soleplate.

Perform Quick Calc Release (specific types 
only) or Calc-Clean (specific types only).
See chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

There is an amber 
light flashing on 
the handle of the 
iron.

The Calc-Clean reminder 
light is activated. This is 
to remind you to perform 
Calc-Clean. 

Perform Quick Calc Release (specific types 
only) or Calc-Clean (specific types only).
See chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

The iron leaves a 
shine or an imprint 
on the garment.

The surface to be ironed 
was uneven, for instance 
because you ironed over 
a seam or a fold in the 
garment.

The iron is safe to use on all ironable garments. 
The shine or imprint is not permanent and 
disappears when you wash the garment. Avoid 
ironing over seams or folds. You can also place 
a cotton cloth over the area to be ironed to 
avoid imprints.

The iron makes a 
lot of noise.

There is no water in the 
appliance.

Fill the water in the water tank.
