Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference.

◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the

local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.

◗ Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself is

damaged.

◗ If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service

centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

◗ Never leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the mains. ◗ Never immerse the iron in water. ◗ Infirm persons should not be allowed to use the appliance without

supervision. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

◗ Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or

other chemicals in the water tank.

◗ The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause

burns if touched. Do not allow the cord to come into contact with the soleplate when it is hot.

◗ 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 0, put the iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

Before first use

1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate.

2 Let the iron heat up to 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.

Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

Never immerse the iron in water.

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

2 Set the steam control to position O (= no steam) (fig. 1).

3 Press and hold the release button and remove the detachable water

tank (fig. 2).

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

Do not fill the tank beyond the MAX indication.

◗ 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. Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing additives, chemically descaled water or other chemicals in the water tank.

5 Push the water tank back into the iron ('click').

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.

2 Set the required ironing temperature by turning the temperature dial

to the appropriate position (fig. 4).

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:

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

- 1 Silk

- 2 Wool

- 3 Cotton, linen If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.

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.

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

4 When the temperature light has gone out, wait a while before you

start ironing (fig. 5).

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

Using the appliance

Steam ironing

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

2 Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing

for use', section 'Setting the temperature').

3 After the temperature light has gone out, set the steam control to

the appropriate steam position. Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature selected: (fig. 6).

- q for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to MAX)

- w for maximum steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)

The iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been reached.

Ironing without steam

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

2 Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing

for use', section 'Setting the temperature').

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function to remove stubborn creases at any temperature.

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

2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be

ironed (fig. 7).

Extra steam (GC1680 only)

This function provides extra steam to remove very stubborn creases.

◗ The extra-steam function only works at temperature settings

between 3 and MAX.

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

2 Press and hold the steam control for a maximum of 5 seconds (fig. 9).

3 Release the steam control and wait at least 1 minute before using this

function again to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate.

Shot of steam (GC1675 only)

A powerful shot of steam helps to remove stubborn creases.

The shot-of-steam function can only be used at temperature settings between 3 and MAX.

GC1680, GC1675,GC16653 ENGLISH 4239 000 57991

1 Press and release the shot-of-steam button (fig. 10).

Wait a while before using the button again to avoid spluttering.

Never direct the steam at people.

Electronic safety shut-off function (GC1680 only)

The electronic safety shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

◗ The auto-off light starts blinking to indicate that the iron has been

switched off by the safety shut-off function (fig. 11).

- In horizontal position, this will happen after 30 seconds.

- In vertical position, this will happen after 8 minutes.

◗ To let the iron heat up again:

- Pick up the iron or move it slightly.

- The auto-off light goes out and the temperature light goes on.

- When the temperature light has gone out and goes on again, the iron is

ready for use.

Cleaning and maintenance

After ironing

1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down.

2 Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth

and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, you should 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

cleaning.

Double-Active Calc System

1 The anti-calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents

(fig. 12).

◗ The anti-calc tablet is constantly active and does not need replacement.

2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles (fig. 13).

Calc-Clean function

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.

1 Set the steam control to position O.

2 Set the temperature dial to MAX.

3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

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

4 Put the plug in the wall socket.

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

6 Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to the Calc-

Clean position x (fig. 14).

7 Pull the steam control 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. Scale (if any) will be flushed out.

8 After having used the Calc-Clean function, press the steam control

back to its original position and set it to position O.

Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water coming out of the iron still contains scale particles.

After the Calc-Clean process

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

2 Unplug the iron when the light has gone out.

3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water

stains that may have formed on the soleplate.

4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.

Cleaning the steam control needle

1 Pull the steam control out of the appliance (fig. 13).

2 Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (fig. 15).

Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.

3 Reinsert 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. 16).

4 Set the steam control to position O.

Storage

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged and set the steam control to

position O.

2 Empty the water tank (fig. 17).

3 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility.

4 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place (fig. 18).
