Problem
Steam escapes from
under the Calc-
Clean rinsing cap
when the appliance
is heating up.
The iron does not
produce enough
steam/the amount
of steam decreases
and increases during
steam ironing.
Wet spots appear
on the garment
during ironing.
Cause
The Calc-clean rinsing cap has not been
tightened properly.
When the appliance pumps water into
the boiler, the steam amount sometimes
decreases. This is probably when you think
that the iron does not produce enough
steam. However, this is a completely
normal phenomenon and the steam
output normalises within a few seconds.
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 dry them. If the underside
of the ironing board is wet, wipe it with a
piece of dry cloth.
Solution
Switch the appliance off, tighten the
Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch
the appliance on again. If steam
continues to escape when the
appliance is heating up, switch the
appliance off 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
the iron down.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh top.
