Problem

Possible cause

Solution

The ironing board 
cover becomes 
wet or there are 
water droplets 
on the garment 
during ironing.

Steam has condensed on 
the ironing board cover after 
a long ironing session.

Replace the ironing board cover if 
the foam material has worn out. You 
can also add 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.

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 
come out of the 
soleplate.

The steam that was 
still present in the hose 
has cooled down and 
condensed into water. This 
causes water droplets to 
come out of the soleplate.

Steam away from the garment for a 
few seconds.

Steam and/or 
water come out 
from under the 
EASY DE-CALC 
knob.

The EASY DE-CALC knob is 
not tightened properly.

Switch off the appliance and let the 
appliance cool down for 2 hours. 
Unscrew the EASY DE-CALC knob 
and screw it back onto the appliance 
properly. Note: Some water may 
escape when you remove the knob.

The rubber sealing ring of 
the EASY DE-CALC knob is 
worn.

Contact an authorised Philips service 
centre for a new EASY DE-CALC 
knob.
