Types GC6024/6026 only: During steam ironing, pilot light G will come
on from time to time to indicate that the steam tank and the iron are
being heated up to the right temperature and pressure.You can simply
continue ironing while this happens.
If you have not used the steaming facility for some time, the steam that
was still present in the supply hose will have 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.
B
To prevent droplets from falling onto your garments, hold the iron over an
old cloth and press the steam activator button (H) until the steam
production has normalised before you start steam ironing again.
Ironing without steam
1 Set the temperature dial to the recommended position.
See 'Setting the temperature'.
2 Do not press the steam activator button (H).
◗ Some steam will escape if you press the steam button by accident
while you are ironing. If the steam tank is empty or has not heated
up yet, you will hear a clicking sound inside the tank.This
phenomenon is caused by the opening of the steam valve and is
perfectly harmless.
◗ If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently
set the temperature dial (I) to a lower setting, wait until the
temperature pilot light (G) goes on again before you continue
ironing.This will prevent damage to your fabrics.
Other features
Steaming in vertical position.
C
1 Hanging curtains and clothes (jackets, suits, coats) can be steam
ironed by holding the iron in vertical position.
Never direct the steam at people.
Shot of steam (Type GC6026 only)
