Exclusive technology from Philips

OptimalTEMP technology

The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without
adjusting the iron temperature and without sorting your garments.

It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 2) without putting back to the
iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your wrist.

This iron has been approved by The Woolmark Company
Pty Ltd for the ironing of wool-only products, provided that
the garments are ironed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
iron. R1701. The Woolmark symbol is a certication mark in
many countries.

Compact ProVelocity technology

This technology delivers continuous steam that penetrates deeply to remove creases easily. At the
same time, it keeps the appliance more compact and lighter than traditional steam generators, for
easier storage.

Preparing for use

Type of water to use

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard
water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized
water to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.

English

Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they
may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.

Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use or when the water level in the water tank drops below the
minimum level. You can rell the water tank at any time during use.

1 Open the water tank lling door (Fig. 3).
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 4).
3 Close the water tank lling door (‘click’).

Using the appliance

Ironable fabrics

Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

- Fabrics with these symbols (Fig. 5) are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool,
viscose and rayon.

- Fabrics with this symbol (Fig. 6) are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such
as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on
garments are not ironable either.

Ironing

1 Place the appliance on a stable and even surface.

Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing
board.

2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3 Remove the mains cord and water supply hose from the storage compartment.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/o button to switch on the

appliance.Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously (Fig. 7). This takes about 2 minutes.

5 For GC6819, GC6820 and GC6830 series only: press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron

from the iron platform (Fig. 8).

6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 9).

Note: For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.

Warning: Never direct steam at people.

Note: When you use the appliance for the rst time, it may take 30 seconds for steam to come out
of the appliance.

Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It produces subtle rattling
sound, which is normal. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up
the water tank with water when the water level drops below the minimum level.

Steam boost function

1 Press the steam trigger twice quickly to release a powerful boost of steam for 3 seconds (Fig. 10).

Note: It is recommended to use the steam boost function only for stubborn crease.

Vertical ironing

Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles
from a garment while someone is wearing it (Fig. 11). Do not apply steam near your or
someone else’s hand.

You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the

soleplate and move the iron up and down (Fig. 12).

Safe rest

Resting the iron while rearranging your garment

While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the
ironing board (Fig. 2). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing
board cover.

Auto shut-o

- The appliances enters the standby mode if it has not been used for 5 minutes. The light of the on/
o button starts to ash.

- To activate the appliance again, press the on/o button or the steam trigger. The appliance starts
to heat up again.

- The appliance switches o automatically if it has not been used for another 10 minutes after it
enters the standby mode. The light in the on/o button goes o.

Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains.
Always unplug the appliance after use.

Cleaning and maintenance

Smart Calc-Clean System

Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and
cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and
stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
appliance gives regular reminders.

Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder

After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts ashing and the appliance starts beeping to
indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 13).

Besides that, a second defense step to protect the appliance from scale is integrated: the steam
function gets disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 14). After descaling is done, the steam function will
be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.

Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder
is not activated yet.

Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container

Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.

Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. Do not interrupt
the process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come
out of the soleplate.

1 Fill up the water tank halfway.

Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.

2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface.
3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 15).
4 Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 16).

Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during
the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire
process.

5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 17).
6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 18). When the

Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops ashing.

7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 19).

Caution: The iron is hot.

8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait about 5 minutes

before you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future
use (Fig. 20).

9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the Calc-Clean container

before you start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the soleplate if no scale has

accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.
