The set temperature is too low for steam ironing.
When you start steam ironing and when you stop steam ironing for a while, the steam still present in the supply hose cools down and condenses into water.This causes water droplets to come out of the soleplate.
Impurities or chemicals present in the water have deposited in the steam vents and/or on the soleplate.
Water is pumped into the steam generator.
Place the water tank properly in the steam generator (‘click’).
