[. . . ] The voltage of your electrical outlet must correspond to that of the iron (120V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the warranty. If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved Service Center to avoid any danger. The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or has functional anomalies. [. . . ] Please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. Remove any labels, stickers or hangtags from the body or soleplate of the iron before plugging it in. If you have very hard water, it is recommended that you mix tap water with purified (bottled) water in the following ratio: - 50% tap water, - 50% purified (bottled) water. This will reduce the amount of lime scale build-up in your iron and reduce the amount of times you will need to clean your iron. However, due to the natural minerals found in tap water, it is recommended that you clean the iron once a month using the self cleaning method on page 5. Never use any of the following water types as this may cause spitting, brown staining or premature aging of your iron: 100% purified water (bottled water), water from tumble dryers, scented water, softened water, water from refrigerators, water from batteries, water from air conditioners, distilled water, rain water, boiled or filtered water, etc. The integrated anti-scale system (depending on model) prolongs the life of the iron and provides a better ironing quality by ensuring a constant flow of steam.

POSSIBLE CAUSE The chosen temperature is too low and does not allow for the formation of steam. You have stored the iron horizontally, without emptying it and without setting it to . fabric fibers have accumulated in the holes of the soleplate and are burning. Your fabric has not been rinsed sufficiently or you have ironed a new garment before washing it. Brown streaks come through the holes of the soleplate and stain the fabric.
