Smoke comes out of the appliance when it is switched on <$="7-%">=&7"76?%+ This is absolutely normal and is due to the expansion of the plastic material. This no longer occurs after a while. Impurities come out of the plate (15) of the new iron. This is perfectly normal in a new iron. These particles are completely harmless and will disappear after the iron is used a few times. Drops of water come out of the plate (15). The iron temperature adjustment knob (12) is set to a low temperature for steam ironing. Adjust the temperature for steam ironing (see the ”IRONING” chapter). The appliance does not produce steam. The appliance is not on. Press the ON/OFF button (13). The steam button (16) is not being pressed. Keep the steam button (16) pressed as you iron. The water in the reservoir (2) has >'6&-%)"(')"7-%"'$"5(7%="./0"1@4" is on. Fill the water reservoir (2) (see chapter: Filling the reservoir while ironing). The plate (15) is dirty: there are impurities or lime scale residue. The impurities or chemical substances found in the water have deposited on the plate. Wait for the plate to cool down and clean it with a damp cloth. You are ironing with a temperature that is too high. Wait for the plate to cool down and clean it with a damp cloth. An excessive amount of lime scale and minerals has accumulated in the boiler. Clean the boiler (see the CLEANING THE BOILER chapter). 15GB www. imetec.com ?*&09(0!I+.8/!DJ/J=J!!!K$0!E$*L.&(*!AM11!!!N;OAN!=PP0&.!DJ!E0.%.!QGIR!!!3?=HS ?*%J!T2UJO2AJVWWJ111!!!#0X!T2UJO2AJ2NOJ1;U MI000757 1111 (MMYY) The steam (ready) LED (5) does not light up or water leaks from the boiler cleaning cap (12). The cleaning cap (12) has not been tightened correctly. Make sure the cleaning cap is tightened well. Use a coin to tighten the cleaning cap (12). Patches remain wet while ironing. Sometimes patches remain wet after being steam ironed as the steam condenses on the ironing board. Pass the iron a number of times on the wet patches without dispensing steam. If the lower part of the ironing board is wet, dry it with a dry cloth. Use a mesh ironing board to prevent the steam from condensing on the ironing board. The iron must not rest in vertical position. The iron has been designed to be set horizontally. Place the iron on the heat resistant mat. DISPOSAL The product is packaged in recyclable materials.
