Setting the temperature
Always place the steam tank on a stable, level and horizontal surface
Do not put the steam tank on the soft part of the ironing board.
Always place the iron on the iron stand. Do not put the hot iron on
the supply hose or the mains cord. Make sure the cord does not come
into contact with the hot soleplate.

1 Set the temperature dial to the required ironing temperature
by turning it to the appropriate temperature indication.
- Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature:
- 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 Silk
- 2 Wool
- 3 Cotton, linen
- When you do not know what kind of fabric the article is made of,
try to iron a spot which will be invisible when you wear it.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the
fabric to prevent shiny patches.
- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic fibres.

the steam tank takes approximately 8 minutes to heat up.
4 Quick reheat:if you refill the steam tank during the ironing
process,the water in the steam tank will take approximately
6 minutes to heat up.
5 Types GC6268/GC6265/GC6068/GC6065/GC6029 only: as

ironing,the pilot light (E) will go out.You can now start ironing.
Tips
◗ If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester
and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated
for polyester (1) and without steam.
◗ When steam ironing woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur.You
can prevent this by using a dry pressing cloth or by turning the
article inside out and ironing the reverse side.
◗ Velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should
be ironed in one direction only (along with the nap) while applying
very little pressure.
