Problem

Possible cause and solution

When the temperature dial 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 temperature dial to a lower temperature, e.g. 

2

, to 

check if the iron produces steam.
The Auto Calc Clean process is activated. Wait for approximately 4 minutes 

for the appliance to be ready for steam ironing.

Water droplets come 

out of the soleplate

When you star t steam ironing and when you continue steam ironing after an 

interruption, the steam that was still present in the supply hose has cooled 

down and condensed into water. This causes water droplets to come out of 

the soleplate. This happens sometimes when you star t ironing or 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.
The set temperature is too low for steam ironing. Set a temperature of 

2

or higher.
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.
Steam may have condensed in the hose, the temperature may have been set 

below 

3

 or the appliance may not be ready for steam ironing.

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 boiler inside the steam generator. This is normal. 

However, if the pumping sound does not stop, switch off the appliance 

immediately and unplug it. Contact an authorised Philips ser vice centre.

Water leaks out of the 

steam generator.

The Calc Clean tank has overflowed during the Auto Calc Clean process. 

Always empty the Calc Clean tank after the Calc Clean process. This prevents 

the Calc Clean tank from overflowing the next time the auto Calc Clean 

process is performed.

The appliance 

occasionally produces a 

loud pumping noise and 

clicking sound.

This happens during the Auto Calc Clean process. Water is pumped from 

the water tank into the steam generator, and expelled into the Calc Clean 

tank. Wait a few minutes for the appliance to complete the Auto Calc Clean 

process. Empty the Calc Clean tank and then top up the water tank. The Auto 

Calc Clean process is a normal process that is performed automatically at 

regular inter vals.

I cannot place the iron 

on its heel.

To make the appliance more ergonomic, it has been designed in such a way 

that the iron can only be put down horizontally. Place the iron horizontally on 

the heat-resistant iron resting mat. The mat can be left on top of the steam 

generator or you can place the mat on the ironing board. Do not place 

the hot iron directly onto the ironing board without the heat-resistant iron 

resting mat.
