- Young children should not be allowed to use the appliance without supervision. Keep an eye on children to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.

- 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 O,put the iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

- If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged,it must always be replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips,as special tools and/or parts are required.

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

Before first use

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

the mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.

2 Remove any sticker,protective foil or storage cover from the

soleplate.

3 Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and pass the iron

over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residues from the soleplate.

- 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.

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

- 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 amber temperature pilot light has gone out,wait a

while before you start ironing.

The amber pilot light will come on from time to time during ironing.

For auto-shut-off versions (only type GC2030): If the auto-shut-off function has been activated (red pilot light blinks),

move the iron slightly to deactivate it (red pilot light stops blinking).
