A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GENERATOR ?
PROBLEMS
The generator does
not come on and
the thermostat light
is not illuminated.

the holes in the so-
leplate.
Water runs out of
the holes in the
soleplate.
Water streaks
appear on the
linen.
Brown streaks
come through the
holes in the
soleplate and stain
the linen.
The soleplate is
dirty or brown and
may stain the
linen.
There is no steam
or there is little
steam.
CAUSES
The appliance is not switched on.
Water has condensed in the
pipes because you are using
steam for the first time or you have
not used it for some time.
The soleplate is not hot enough.
Your thermostat is faulty: the iron is
not hot enough.
The boiler is too full.
Your ironing board is saturated with
water because it is not suitable for
use with a steam generator.
You are using chemical descaling
agents or additives in the water for
ironing.
Your linen is not rinsed sufficiently
or you have ironed a new garment
before washing it.
You are ironing at too high a
temperature.
You are using starch.
The boiler is empty.
The soleplate temperature is set to
the maximum.
The boiler is not yet ready.
SOLUTIONS
Check that your appliance is correctly
plugged in
Press on the steam control button away
from your ironing board until the iron
produces steam.
Wait for the thermostat light to go out
before activating the steam button.
Contact an Approved Service Centre.
Do not fill the boiler right up to
the top.
A mesh type ironing board must be
used to allow any excess steam to
escape.
Never add this type of product in the
water tank or in the boiler (see § "for
what water may be used"). Contact an
Approved Service Centre.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to
remove any soap deposits or
chemicals on new garments which
may be sucked up by the iron.
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
Always spray starch on the reverse
side of the fabric to be ironed.
Fill the boiler.
The generator is working but steam is
very hot and dry As a consequence, it
is less visible.
After starting the appliance, wait for 6
minutes.
