Does this happen at the beginning of the ironing session?
This could be happening due to condensed water remaining in the appliance from previous use. Steam away from the garment for a few seconds before you start ironing.
Is your ironing board wet?
Steam may condense on the board cover, particularly when using irons that produce powerful levels of steam. This can look like your iron is leaking from the soleplate. To prevent this, you can do the following:
1. Select a lower steam setting than the setting that you have been using or use steam during the first ironing strokes and then finish up with the dry-ironing strokes. If your iron has ECO mode, push the ECO button to decrease the steam level.
2. You can also put an extra layer of felt between the ironing board and the ironing board cover to minimise condensation.
3. Replace the ironing board cover if the sponge material has worn out.
Have you set the temperature too low on the dial? (applies only to models with a temperature setting dial)
Please make sure to set the temperature to the steaming zone (2 dots or above) on the temperature dial as shown in the image below (2) before releasing steam. Then, let your Philips Steam Generator Iron heat up in heel-rest position (1) for one minute before you resume ironing.
Note: The image is for illustration purposes only and may differ from the dial of specific models.
