Problem

Cause

Solution

No steam comes 

out of the 

soleplate.

Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam is 

hardly visible, especially when the 

temperature dial is set to maximum 

position and even less so when the 

ambient temperature is relatively high.

To check if the iron really produces 

steam, hold a (cold) mirror in front 

of the soleplate vents.

The soleplate  

is dir ty.

Impurities or chemicals present in the 

water have deposited on the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp 

cloth.

You have been ironing at too high 

temperatures.

Clean the soleplate with a damp 

cloth. Set the iron to the required 

ironing temperature (see chapter 

‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting 

the temperature’).

Steam escapes 

from the filling 

hole area during 

ironing.

You may not have tightened the steam 

tank cap properly or you have spilled 

some water around the filling hole

Switch off the appliance and let it 

cool down. Remove the steam tank 

cap, wipe away the water round the 

filling hole and tighten the steam 

tank cap again. Then switch on the 

appliance again.

Wet spots 

appear on the 

garment during 

ironing

The wet spots that appear on your 

garment after you have steam ironed 

for some time may be caused by 

steam that has condensed onto the 

ironing board. Iron the wet spots 

without steam for some time to dr y 

them. If the underside of the ironing 

board is wet, wipe it dr y with a piece 

of dr y cloth.

To prevent steam from condensing 

onto the ironing board, use an 

ironing board with a wire mesh top.
