Storage
• Before you store away the device, allow it to cool down completely and clean it in the
manner described in the "Cleaning and Care" chapter.
• Store the device in a dry, clean, frost-free location which is out of the reach of child-
ren. When you do this, place the device upright on its base on a fl at, stable surface.
Troubleshooting
If the device is not working properly, please check fi rst of all whether you can rectify a
problem yourself. Otherwise you should contact the customer service department. Do
not attempt to repair a defective device yourself!
Problem Possible cause/solution
The device does
not work. The op-
erating lamp does
not light up/fl ash.
• Is the mains plug correctly inserted into the socket?
• Is the plug socket defective? Try a different socket and check
the fuse of your mains connection.
No steam is pro-
duced.
• Is the water reservoir fi lled with water?
• The device has not yet reached operating temperature. Wait
until the temperature control lamp lights up constantly.
• Is the temperature control on a low temperature setting? Se-
lect a higher temperature setting.
• Is the device upright? Press the
steam burst button to
check whether any steam emerges.
• If you have set a high temperature, the steam which is gener-
ated is dry and almost invisible. This is exacerbated by a high
ambient temperature. Switch the temperature control to a lower
temperature to check whether the device is producing steam.
• Have you not moved the device for some time? The auto-
matic safety switch-off function was activated. Take hold of
the handle so that the device switches back on and heats
up again.
Water emerges
from the bottom of
the iron.
• Is the water reservoir overfi lled? Pour away some water (see
the "After Use" section).
• Is the temperature control on a low temperature setting?
Select a higher temperature setting so that steam can be
generated.
Smoke is emitted
from the device.
• You might notice a small amount of smoke the fi rst time you
use the device. However, this is harmless and will cease as
you use the device.
The device makes
loud pumping
noises.
• Is the water reservoir empty? Refi ll it.
