Problem

Possible cause and solution

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.

The appliance beeps 

continuously.

The water tank has gone empty during the Auto Calc Clean process. Fill 

the water tank.
