produce a little smoke when initially
heated.
• During later use: the soleplate may be
soiled.
• The steam function is being used
before it has reached temperature.

pipes because steam is being used for
the first time or has not been used for a
long time.

in the boiler.
• Chemical products or additives have
been used.
• The boiler is not switched on or is
empty.
