Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance produces no steam. | Steamer has not heated up sufficiently (power button flashes). | Let the appliance heat up for 90 seconds. When ready, the light turns steady. |
| Auto shut-off has been activated (power button flashes). | Press the power button and wait for 90 seconds for the appliance to heat up again. | |
| Steam trigger has not been pressed. | Press the steam trigger to activate steam. | |
| Water leaks out from the steamer base. | Low water level in the tank or tank is not inserted properly. | Refill the water tank and insert it properly. |
| Water tank has been overfilled. | Fill water up to its MAX marking. | |
| Steam lock cannot be activated. | Steam lock has been activated for 8 minutes. | Steam lock feature has automatic release. Double tap the steam trigger for continuous steam. |
| Fail to enter steam lock function. | Double tap to activate the steam lock function. | |
| Steam does not stop automatically after placing the steamer head onto the holder. | Steam lock function is activated. | Press once to deactivate steam lock. |
| The board cover becomes wet or there are water droplets on the garment during steaming. | Steam has condensed on the board cover after a long steaming session. | Leave it to dry before storage. Replace the board cover if worn out. Purchase a new board cover from a Philips Authorized Service Center. |
| Board is shaky during use. | The pole is not secured to the base of the product. | Ensure the last lever at the bottom is locked. |
| The board is not secured onto the pole. | Insert the two board clips fully until you hear a "click" sound. | |
| Board cannot be tilted or used in the horizontal position. | The board tilting lever has not been released. | Ensure the tilting lever is unlocked to allow the board to be tilted to a desired position. Lock the lever once the desired position is attained. |
| The board is too high for me at horizontal position. | Pole height is not adjusted when changing from vertical/tilt position to horizontal position. | Lower the pole height when ironing horizontally. |
| Water droplets drip from the steamer head, sometimes the appliance produces a croaking sound. | Steam condenses into water in the hose and affects smooth steam flow. | Lift the steamer head to straighten the hose vertically. At the start of a steaming session, set the steam setting to MAX mode. Hold the steamer head away from the garment and press the steam trigger for 10 seconds to release the initial gush of water droplets. |
| White flakes come out of the steamer head within first few usage sessions. | This is normal as the appliance has gone through quality tests and may have some residual particles. | Simply shake/brush the flakes off the garment. Do not use wet cloth. |
| Dirty water, brown stains or white flakes come out of the steamer head and stain the garment. | Chemical or additives added into the water tank. | Never use chemicals or additives. Fill the water tank with water and allow it to steam out 1 full tank to rinse off chemical residues. For stains on garment, rinse under running water. For stains on steam head, wipe with a damp cloth. |
| High water hardness may result in fast scale buildup. | Ensure water tank is emptied after use. Use a combination of demineralized/distilled water (50%) mixed with tap water (50%). At the start of a steaming session, set steam to MAX mode. Hold steamer head away from garment and press steam trigger for 10 seconds to release initial water droplets. For stains on garment, rinse under running water. For stains on steam head, wipe with a damp cloth. |
