Some parts of the appliance have been lightly greased in the factory and may initially give off some smoke when heated. This phenomenon is perfectly normal and ceases after a short while There is not enough water in the water tank. When the temperature dial is set to a very high temperature, the steam produced is dry and hardly visible. It is even less visible when the ambient temperature is relatively high and it is entirely invisible when the temperature is set to MAX. Wait for approximately 4 minutes for the appliance to be ready for steam ironing. Water droplets come out of the soleplate When you start steam ironing and when you continue steam ironing after an interruption, the steam that was still present in the supply hose has cooled down and condensed into water. This happens sometimes when you start ironing or continue ironing after an interruption.
