Cause
Steam setting a (no steam) has been
selected.
The water tank has not been placed
properly in the steam tank.
When the iron has been set to a very high
temperature, the steam produced is dry
and hardly visible. It will be even less visible
when the ambient temperature is relatively
high and it will be entirely invisible when
the temperature has been set to MAX.
When you start steam ironing and when
you have stopped steam ironing for a
while, the steam that was still present in
the supply hose will have cooled down
and condensed into water, which causes
water droplets to come out of the
soleplate.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited in the steam vents
and/or on the soleplate.
A sensor failure has been detected.
Water is being pumped into the steam
tank.
The pumping sound does not stop.
Too much scale and minerals have
accumulated inside the steam tank.
The steam lock has been set to 'on'.

Solution
Select steam setting ] (minimum
steam), [ (moderate steam) or p
(maximum steam).
Place the water tank properly in the
steam tank ('click').
Set the iron to a lower temperature,

actually producing steam.
This is perfectly normal. Hold the
iron over an old cloth and press
the steam activator when you start
ironing (again). Wait until steam
instead of water comes out of the
soleplate.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
Contact an authorised Philips
service centre.
This is normal.
Unplug the iron immediately and
contact an authorised Philips service
centre.
Rinse the steam tank. See chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance'.
Press the steam activator again to
stop steaming. Set the steam lock
to 'off ' if you only want to obtain
steam when pressing the steam
activator (see section 'Steam lock
function').
