Note: During steam ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time. This indicates that the iron

is heating up to the set temperature.

Note: If you have been ironing at a high temperature and then set the temperature dial to a lower

setting, wait until the temperature light goes on and goes out again before you continue ironing. This

prevents damage to your fabrics.

Tips

- If the fabric consists of various kinds of bres, always select the temperature required by the

most delicate bre, 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 you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To prevent this, use a dry

pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.

- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with

the nap) while you apply very little pressure.

- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.

Using the appliance

Steam ironing

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

2 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).

Note: Steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures (temperature settings 2 to MAX).

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and set the on/off switch to ‘I’.

- The power-on light in the on/off switch and the temperature light on the iron go on to indicate

that the steam tank and the iron start to heat up.

4 GC6540: Select a steam setting suitable for the selected ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)

- Select steam setting ECO for temperature setting 2.

- Select a steam setting between ECO and ; for temperature settings 3 to MAX.

5 The steam tank and the soleplate heat up.

- Cold start: the soleplate takes approximately 2 minutes to heat up and the steam tank takes

approximately 6 minutes to heat up.

- Quick reheat: if you rell the steam tank during the ironing process, the water in the steam

tank takes approximately 6 minutes to heat up.

, When the iron has reached the set temperature, the temperature light goes out.

, As soon as the water in the steam tank is ready for steam ironing:

- GC6540: the ‘steam ready’ light goes on (Fig. 8).

Note: During steam ironing, the ‘steam ready’ light goes out from time to time. This indicates that the

steam tank is heating up to the right temperature.

- GC6530/GC6520/GC6515/GC6510: the power-on light in the on/off switch goes out.

6 Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed while you steam iron (Fig. 5).

Tip: When you put down the iron during ironing, put it on its heel.

Note: If you have not used the steam function for some time, the steam that was still present in the

supply hose has condensed into water. When you start steam ironing again, this may cause some

spluttering in the appliance and a few droplets of water may escape from the soleplate.

Note: To prevent droplets from falling onto your garments, hold the iron over an old cloth and press the

steam trigger until the steam production has normalised before you start steam ironing again.
