1 for silk

,

-

ENGLISH8

2 for wool

3 for cotton

MAX for linen

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,

determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be

visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to

prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

such as those made of synthetic bres.

Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430

only)

When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the

steam produced is ner than during regular steam ironing. Fine steam

reaches deeper, especially into thick fabrics. This helps you to remove

stubborn creases easily.

1 Followsteps1to3insection‘Steamironing’.

2 PressandholdtheIonicDeepSteambutton(Fig.8).

(Fig.9).

3 TheironnowproducesIonicDeepSteamtohelpyouremoveeven

thetoughestcreases.

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in

combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between

2

and MAX.

Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam

and/or at low temperature settings. However, ironing at low temperatures

without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on will not

damage the iron.

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on

the ironing temperature.

Ironing without steam

3 Let the iron cool down in a safe place.

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the article

to be ironed. This helps remove stubborn creases.

1 Makesurethatthereisenoughwaterinthewatertank.

2 Pressthespraybuttonseveraltimestomoistenthearticletobe

ironed(Fig.10).

Steam boost function

A steam boost from the special Steam Tip soleplate helps remove

stubborn creases. The steam boost enhances the distribution of steam

into every part of your garment.

The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings

between 3 and MAX.

1 Pressandreleasethesteamboostbutton(Fig.11).

Vertical steam boost

1 Youcanalsousethesteamboostfunctionwhenyouholdtheiron

inverticalposition(Fig.12).

This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

Never direct the steam at people.

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically

stops producing steam when the temperature is too low, to prevent

water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens, you may

hear a sound.

ENGLISH 11

Automatic shut-off function (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430,

GC4425, GC4422, GC4420, GC4412 only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it

has not been moved for a while.

TheredAUTO/OFFindicationofthetemperaturelightashesto

indicatethattheironhasbeenswitchedoffbytheautomaticshut-

offfunction.

To let the iron heat up again:

1 Pickuptheironormoveitslightly.

TheredAUTO/OFFindicationgoesout.

Ifthetemperatureofthesoleplatehasdroppedbelowtheset

2 Iftheambertemperaturelightgoesonafteryouhavemovedthe

iron,waitforittogooutbeforeyoustartironing.

Note: If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the iron,

the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.

Delicate fabric protector (GC4425, GC4415 only)

The delicate fabric protector protects delicate fabrics from heat damage

and shiny patches.

With the delicate fabric protector you can iron delicate fabrics (silk, wool

and nylon) at temperature settings 3 to MAX in combination with all

steam functions available on the iron.

The delicate fabric protector reduces the soleplate temperature instantly,

thus allowing you to iron delicate fabrics safely.

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,

determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is

not visible when you wear or use the article.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1 Wipeakesandanyotherdepositsoffthesoleplatewithadamp

clothandanon-abrasive(liquid)cleaningagent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.

Double-Active Calc System

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the

water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.

1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.

This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.

2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.

Using the Calc-Clean function

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your

area is very hard (i.e. when akes come out of the soleplate during

ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

1 Makesuretheapplianceisunplugged.

2 Set the steam control to position 0.

3 Fillthewatertanktothemaximumlevel.

Problem Possiblecause Solution

The iron is

plugged in, but the

soleplate is cold.

There is a

connection

problem.

Check the mains cord, the

plug and the wall socket.

The temperature

dial is set to MIN.

Set the temperature dial to

the required position.

The iron does not

section ‘Filling the water tank’).

-

ENGLISH 15

Problem Possiblecause Solution

The steam

control is set to

position 0.

Set the steam control to a

position between 1 and 6 (see

chapter ‘Using the appliance’,

section ‘Steam ironing’).

The iron is not

hot enough and/

or the drip-stop

function has

been activated.

Set an ironing temperature

that is suitable for steam

ironing (2 to MAX). Put the

iron on its heel and wait until

the temperature light has

gone out before you start

ironing.

The iron does not

produce a steam

boost.

You have used

the steam boost

function too

often within a

very short

period.

Continue ironing in horizontal

position and wait a while

before you use the steam

boost function again.

The iron is not

hot enough.

Set an ironing temperature at

which the steam boost

function can be used (3 to

MAX). Put the iron on its heel

and wait until the temperature

light has gone out before you

use the steam boost function.

Water droplets

drip onto the

fabric during

ironing.

You have not

closed the cap of

the lling opening

properly.

Press the cap until you hear a

click.

You have put an

additive in the

water tank.

Rinse the water tank and do

not put any additive in the

water tank.

ENGLISH16

Problem Possiblecause Solution

temperature is

too low for

steam ironing.

Set a temperature of or

2

higher.

You have used

the steam boost

function at a

temperature

setting below

3.

Set the temperature dial to a

setting between 3 and

MAX.

Water drips from

the soleplate after

the iron has

cooled down or

has been stored.

You have put the

iron in horizontal

position with

water still left in

the water tank.

Empty the water tank.

Flakes and

impurities come

out of the

soleplate during

ironing.

Hard water

forms akes

inside the

soleplate.

Use the Calc-Clean function

one or more times (see

chapter ‘Cleaning and

maintenance’, section ‘Using

the Calc-Clean function’).

The red light

ashes (GC4444,

GC4440, GC4430,
