, If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped below the set ironing

temperature, the temperature light goes on.

2 If the temperature light goes on after you have moved the iron, wait

for it to go out before you start ironing.

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

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall

socket and let the iron cool down.

2 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.

Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after

you have rinsed it (Fig. 9).

Double-Active Calc System (GC2960/GC2930/GC2920 only)

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

water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.

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

tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced (Fig. 10).

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

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.

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.

4 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 11).

5 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

7 Hold the iron over the sink. Push the steam control to the Calc-Clean

position and hold it. Gently shake the iron to and fro (Fig. 12).

, Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and

akes(ifany)areushedout.

8 Release the steam control as soon as all the water in the tank has

been used up.

9 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

After the Calc-Clean process

1 Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let

the soleplate dry.

2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water

stains that may have formed on the soleplate.

Storage

1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall

socket and let the iron cool down.

2 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (Fig. 13).

3 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place.

Environment

- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste

at the end of its life, but hand it in at an ofcial collection point for

recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 14).
