Why does water leak when I reinsert the tank after filling it?

Question

Accepted Answer

When you reinsert the tank after filling it, a water leak may occur if the tank valve is not properly aligned with the fixing axis. According to the Steam Jet Pro 6248 manual, during reinstallation, you must align the tank valve with the axis - this is a critical step.

Here is the correct procedure:

Unplug the device before any handling
Remove the tank (O)
Turn the tank upside down and remove the cap (N)
Fill with fresh water directly from the tap, without exceeding the MAX level
Replace the cap
Carefully reinsert the tank, aligning its valve with the fixing axis

Other important points to avoid leaks:

Never fill the tank beyond the indicated MAX level
Ensure that the tank is securely locked in place
Never point the dispenser horizontally during use - this causes hot water leaks from the nozzles
Regularly check the water level while ironing

If leaks persist despite proper alignment, the tank seal may be worn. You can then order a replacement part from the manufacturer ARIETE.
