PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Water streaks appear on the linen. Your ironing board cover is soaked with
water as it is not suited to the power of a
steam generator.
Check that your ironing board is suitable.
We recommend using a mesh type ironing
board to allow excess steam to escape and
to avoid steam venting sideways.
White streaks come through the holes in
the soleplate.
Your generator tank is ejecting scale as it
has not been descaled regularly.
Rinse the collector (see § descaling your
steam generator).
You are ironing at too high a
temperature.
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
Brown streaks come through the holes in
the soleplate and stain the linen.

Never add this type of product in the

Clean the soleplate with a non-metallic

Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove
