Problem
Flakes and
impurities come out
of the soleplate or
the soleplate is dirty.
'ERROR' has
appeared on the
display and the iron
beeps continuously
The appliance
produces a pumping
sound.
Dirty water comes
out of the soleplate.
The iron produces
steam continuously.
Steam escapes from
under the Calc-
Clean rinsing cap
while the appliance
heats up.
The iron does not
produce enough
steam/the amount
of steam decreases
and increases during
steam ironing.
Cause
When you start 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.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited in the steam vents
and/or on the soleplate.
A sensor failure has been detected.
Water is pumped into the steam
generator.
The pumping sound does not stop.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam generator.
The steam lock is set to 'on' and you have
pressed the steam trigger once. The iron
then produces steam continuously until
you press the steam trigger again.
You have not tightened the Calc-Clean
rinsing cap properly.
When the appliance pumps water into
the steam generator, the steam amount
sometimes decreases. This is probably
when you think that the iron does not
produce enough steam. However, this is
a normal phenomenon and the steam
output normalises within a few seconds.

Solution
This is normal. When you start
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.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
Contact an authorised Philips
service centre.
This is normal.
Unplug the iron immediately and
contact an authorised Philips service
centre.
Rinse the steam generator. See
chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
To stop the steam production, press
the steam trigger again. If you only
want the iron to produce steam
as long as you press the steam
trigger, set the steam lock function
to 'off ' in the display menu. See
chapter 'Using the appliance', section
'Steam lock function'.
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 service
centre authorised by Philips.
To optimise the steam output,
release the steam lock when you do
not need steam and when you put
down the iron.
