Ironing without steam
- Put the iron on its heel or on the iron stand (C).
• Make sure switch D has been set to ‘off’.
- Set the desired ironing temperature by means to
the temperature control (I) (fig. 6).
- Put the plug in the wall socket, switch D to ‘on’ and
let the appliance heat up.
- Wait until the pilot light (G) has gone out for the
second time before you start ironing.
• If you press the steam button by accident when you
are ironing, some steam will escape. In case the tank
is empty or not heated up yet,a clicking sound will
come from the water tank. This phenomenon,
caused by the opening of the steam valve, is
harmless.
• If you have been ironing at a high temperature and
subsequently set the temperature control (I) to a
lower setting,wait until the temperature pilot light
(G) goes on again before you continue ironing.This
will prevent damage to fabrics.
Anti-calc funnel
• Type GC6005 comes with an anti-calc funnel to
prolong the life of the appliance. Use the anti-calc
funnel when you fill the steam tank.
When you have finished ironing
- Switch the appliance off by setting the on/off switch
(D) to ‘off’ (fig.7).
- Release the pressure in the steam tank by pressing
the steam activator button until you no longer hear
any steam escaping from the appliance.
- Then remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Put the iron on its heel or on the iron stand (C) and
allow it to cool down sufficiently before you move it
or put it away.
Cleaning
- Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the
appliance to cool down sufficiently before you start
cleaning it.
Note: it is essential that you always carry out these
steps in the order mentioned above to avoid the
unexpected release of hot steam!
Iron
- You can clean the iron with a damp cloth.
• Never immerse the iron in water nor rinse it
under the tap.
- Scale and other deposits can be wiped off the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
Steam tank
Clean the steam tank after every 10 times of use:
- Carefully remove the cap.
- Rinse the steam tank only with 500 ml of fresh
water. Pour out the water by holding the steam
tank over the sink upside down.
- Screw the cap firmly back onto the steam tank.
