Ironing without steam 1 2 Set the steam control to position O (= no steam). Set the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the temperature’). Features Spray function You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the ar ticle to be ironed. This helps remove stubborn creases. 1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank. 2 2 2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (Fig. 5). Shot of steam (all types except GC2510) A powerful shot of steam helps to remove ver y stubborn creases. The shot-of-steam function only works at temperature settings between 2 and MAX. 1 Press and release the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 6). Vertical shot of steam (all types except GC2510) You can also use the shot-of-steam function when you hold the iron in ver tical position.This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, cur tains etc. Hold the iron in vertical position and press and release the shot-ofsteam button (Fig. 7). Never direct the steam at people. Drip stop (GC2652/GC2650/GC2560/GC2522 only) This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens you hear a click. Automatic shut-off function (GC2560 only) The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a while. The automatic shut-off light flashes to indicate that the iron has been , switched off by the automatic shut-off function. (Fig. 8) To let the iron heat up again: 1 ,, Pick up the iron or move it slightly. The automatic shut-off light goes out. 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. Note: If the temperature light does not go on after you move the iron, the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use. Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning 1 2 Set the steam control to position O, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down. Wipe flakes 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 4 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it (Fig. 9). Double-Active Calc System (all types except GC2522/ GC2510) 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 par ticles from the iron. Calc-Clean function Use the Calc-Clean function once ever y two weeks. If the water in your area is ver y hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently. 1 2 3 Make sure the appliance is unplugged. Set the steam control to position O. Fill the water tank to the maximum level. Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank. Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 11). Plug in the appliance. If the appliance has an earthed plug, put the 4 5 6 mains plug in an earthed wall socket. Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out. Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to the Calc- Clean position ( 1).The steam control springs up slightly. Pull the steam control upwards and remove it (Fig. 12). , Hold the iron over the sink and move it to and fro (Fig. 13). Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed out. 7 8 9 10 Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the steam control needle (Fig. 14). Do not bend or damage the steam control needle. 11 Put the steam control back into the iron. Insert the point of the needle exactly in the centre of the hole and fit the small projection on the side of the needle into the slot. Press down the steam control while you turn it to position O (Fig. 15). 12 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities. After the Calc-Clean process Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry. Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out. 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 O, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down. 2 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (Fig. 16). 3 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place.
