Problem

Cause

Solution

You have not placed the water 

tank properly in the steam generator.

Place the water tank properly in the 

steam generator (‘click’).

When the iron is set to a ver y high 

temperature, the steam produced is 

dr y and hardly visible. It is even less 

visible when the ambient temperature is 

relatively high and it is entirely invisible 

when the temperature is set to MAX.

Set the iron to a lower temperature, 

e.g. 

2

, to check if the iron actually 

produces steam.

Water droplets 

come out of the 

soleplate.

The set temperature is too low for steam 

ironing.

Set a temperature of 

2

 or higher.

When you star t steam ironing and when 

you stop steam ironing for a while, the 

steam still present in the supply hose 

cools down and condenses into water. 

This causes water droplets to come out 

of the soleplate.

This is normal. When you star t 

ironing or when you continue 

ironing after an interruption, hold 

the iron over an old cloth and press 

the steam trigger. Wait until steam 

instead of water comes out of the 

soleplate.

Flakes and impurities 

come out of the 

soleplate or the 

soleplate is dir ty.

Impurities or chemicals present in the 

water have deposited in the steam vents 

and/or on the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp 

cloth.

The appliance 

produces a pumping 

sound.

Water is pumped into the steam 

generator.

This is normal.

The pumping sound does not stop.

Unplug the iron immediately and 

contact an authorised Philips ser vice 

centre.

The iron produces 

steam continuously.

The steam lock has been set to ‘on’.

Set the steam lock to ‘off ’ if you only 

want to obtain steam when you 

press the steam trigger (see section 

‘Steam lock function’).

Dir ty water comes 

out of the soleplate.

Too much scale and minerals have 

accumulated inside the steam generator.

Rinse the steam generator. See 

chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

Steam escapes from 

under the Calc-

Clean rinsing cap 

when the appliance 

heats up.

You have not tightened the Calc-clean 

rinsing cap properly.

Switch off the appliance, tighten the 

Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch 

on the appliance again. If steam 

continues to escape when the 

appliance is heating up, switch off the 

appliance and contact a ser vice 

centre authorised by Philips.
