For optimal safety, read these instructions carefully and look at the illustrations before you start using the appliance.

Keep these instructions for future reference.

Never leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the mains.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched.

Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.

When you have finished ironing, when you clean the appliance, when you fill or empty the water tank and also when you leave the iron even for a short while: set the steam control to position O, put the iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from Philips or a service agent.

Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.

Before first useIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

1Remove sticker or protective foil from the soleplate if there is any.

2Heat up the iron to the maximum temperature and pass the iron over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residues from the soleplate.

The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This will cease after a short while.

Filling the water tankIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Never immerse the iron in water.

1Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

2Set the steam control to position O (= no steam) (fig. 2).

3Tilt the iron backwards.

4Fill the water tank with cold tap water up to the maximum level (fig. 3).

Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.

Only use water. Do not use vinegar, starch, ironing concentrates or chemically descaled water.

If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal amount of distilled water or to use distilled water only.

Setting the temperatureIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

1Put the iron on its heel.

2Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature:

1Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester)

1Silk

2 Wool

3 Cotton, linen

If you do not know what kind of fabric(s) a garment is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will be invisible when you wear the garment.

4239 000 53543

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

3Set the temperature control dial to the required ironing temperature by turning it to the appropriate temperature indication (fig. 4).

4Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

5When the temperature pilot light has gone out, wait a while before you start ironing (fig. 5).

The pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.

Steam ironingIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Spray function

Types GC1121, GC1120, GC1115 and GC1015.

To remove stubborn creases at any temperature

Make sure there is enough water in the water tank.

1 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (fig. 7).

Extra Steam

Types GC1121 and GC1120

This function provides extra steam to remove very stubborn creases.

The Extra Steam function only works at temperature settings between 3 and MAX.

1Set the steam control dial to the maximum position w (fig. 8).

Cleaning and maintenanceIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Calc-Clean function

The Calc-Clean function removes scale and impurities.

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), you should use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

1Set the steam control dial to position O.

2Set the temperature control dial to MAX.

3Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.

4Put the plug in the wall socket.

5Unplug the iron when the temperature pilot light has gone out.

6Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to the Calc-Clean position x (fig. 10).

7Pull the steam control dial slightly upwards and gently shake the iron until all water in the tank has been used up.

Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate, flushing out impurities and

scale.

10To clean the steam control needle, pull the steam control out of the appliance (fig. 11). Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (fig. 12).

Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.

1Reinsert the steam control needle by placing the point of the needle exactly in the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side of the needle into the slot (fig. 13).

2Set the steam control to position O. After the Calc-Clean process

1Connect the iron to the mains to let the soleplate dry.

2Unplug the iron when the pilot light has gone out.

3Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.

4Let the iron cool down before you store it. Cleaning after ironing

1Make sure the plug has been removed from the wall socket and the iron has cooled down.

2Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.

Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.

3Clean the upper part of the appliance with a damp cloth.

4Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after cleaning.
