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.

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

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).
