Problem
EN
The ironing board cover be-
comes wet.
Water droplets come out of the
soleplate.
Steam and/or water comes out
from under the EASY DE-CALC
knob.
Dirty water and impurities come
out of the soleplate.
The iron leaves a shine or an
imprint on the garment.
The steam generator does not
produce any steam.
The steam generator produces a
pumping sound.
Possible cause
Steam has condensed on the
ironing board cover after a long
ironing session.
The steam that was still present
in the hose has cooled down and
condensed into water.
The EASY DE-CALC knob is not
tightened properly.
Impurities or chemicals present
in the water have deposited in
the steam vents and/or on the
soleplate.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam
generator.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because you
were ironing over a seam or a
fold in the garment.
There is not enough water in
the water tank (the 'water tank
empty' light flashes).
The steam generator is not hot
enough to produce steam.
You did not press the steam
trigger.
The water tank is not placed
properly in the steam generator.
Water is pumped into the boiler
inside the steam generator. This
is normal.
Solution
Replace the ironing board cover if the foam
material has worn out. You can also add an extra
layer of felt material under the ironing board
cover to prevent condensation on the ironing
board.
Point the iron away from the garment and let it
produce steam for a few seconds.
Switch off the appliance and wait for two hours
for steam generator to cool down. Unscrew the
EASY DE-CALC knob and reattach it properly.
Note: When you remove the knob, water comes
out of the steam generator. If steam continues to
escape, switch off the appliance and contact an
authorised Philips service centre.
Clean the soleplate. See
Descale the steam generator regularly. See
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The shine or
imprint is not permanent and will come off if you
wash the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or
folds or you can place a cotton cloth over the
area to be ironed to avoid imprints at seams
and folds.
Fill the water tank.
Wait until the 'iron ready' light on the iron lights
up continuously.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed while
you iron.
Slide the water tank firmly back into the steam
generator ('click').
If the pumping sound continues non stop, switch
off the steam generator and remove the plug
from the wall socket. Contact an authorised
Philips service centre.
