Cause
Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam is
hardly visible, especially when the
temperature dial is set to maximum
position and even less so when the
ambient temperature is relatively high.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited on the soleplate.
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures.
You may not have tightened the steam
tank cap properly or you have spilled
some water around the filling hole
The wet spots that appear on your
garment after you have steam ironed
for some time may be caused by
steam that has condensed onto the
ironing board. Iron the wet spots
without steam for some time to dry
them. If the underside of the ironing
board is wet, wipe it dry with a piece
of dry cloth.

Solution
To check if the iron really produces
steam, hold a (cold) mirror in front
of the soleplate vents.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
Clean the soleplate with a damp
cloth. Set the iron to the required
ironing temperature (see chapter
'Preparing for use', section 'Setting
the temperature').
Switch off the appliance and let it
cool down. Remove the steam tank
cap, wipe away the water round the
filling hole and tighten the steam
tank cap again. Then switch on the
appliance again.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh top.
