,, After approx.2 minutes,the steam generator is ready for steam ironing.

Tips

-- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.

-- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if a fabric consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester ( 1) and without steam.

-- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, i.e. those made of synthetic materials.

-- If you set a lower temperature during ironing, wait until the iron has cooled down to the set temperature before you continue ironing.To make the iron cool down faster, simply press the steam trigger or iron a piece of cloth.

Using the appliance

Steam ironing

The supply hose may become hot during a long ironing session.

Note:The system may occasionally produce a pumping sound during steam ironing.This is normal and tells you that water is pumped into the steam generator.

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

2Make sure the appliance is plugged in and switched on (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).

3Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter‘Preparing for use’).

Steam ironing is only possible at ironing temperatures higher than 2.

4GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/GC8225/GC8220 only: Set the required steam setting with the + and - buttons on the steam generator control panel.

p for maximum steam (temperature setting MAX).

[ for moderate steam (temperature settings 3to MAX). ] for minimum steam (temperature settings 2to MAX). a for no steam (temperature settings 1to MAX).

,, The steam light flashes to indicate that the steam generator is heating up.

,, After approx.2 minutes,the steam light stays on continuously to indicate that the steam generator is ready for steam ironing.

Note: During ironing, you can adjust the steam setting with the + and - steam buttons.It takes a few moments before the amount of steam is adjusted.

5 Press the steam trigger to start steam ironing.

When you put down the iron during ironing, put it on its heel or on the iron stand.

,, The opening and closing of the steam valve in the steam generator causes a clicking sound.This is normal.

Steam lock function

The steam lock allows you to steam iron non-stop without having to press the steam activator continuously.

-- When you slide the steam lock forwards, the iron produces steam continuously.To stop steaming, slide the steam lock backwards.

-- When the steam lock is deactivated, the iron only produces steam when you press the steam trigger.

Note: Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron stand.This prevents that hot steam escapes from the iron or that the iron stand gets wet.

English 11

Vertical steaming

Never direct the steam at people.

1Hold the iron in vertical position and press the steam trigger to steam iron hanging curtains and clothes (jackets,suits,coats).

Shot of steam (GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/GC8225/ GC8220 only)

A powerful shot of steam helps to remove stubborn creases.

1Set the temperature dial to a position between 3and MAX.

2Press the shot-of-steam button.

Note:Use the shot-of-steam function intermittently.If water droplets come out of the soleplate, let the iron heat up for at least one minute before you use the shot-of-steam function again.

Ironing without steam

-- All  types: Simply start ironing without pressing the steam trigger. -- GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/GC8225/GC8220 only: Select

steam setting a (no steam) and start ironing.

Tips

-- When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur.To prevent this, use a dry pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.

-- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.

-- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with the nap) while you apply very little pressure.

-- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk.This could cause stains.

Problem

Cause

Solution

Water droplets come out of the soleplate.

Flakes and impurities come out of the soleplate or the soleplate is dirty.

The appliance produces a pumping sound.

The iron produces steam continuously.

Dirty water comes out of the soleplate.

Steam escapes from under the CalcClean rinsing cap when the appliance heats up.

You have not placed the water tank properly in the steam generator.

When the iron is set to a very high temperature, the steam produced is dry and hardly visible. It is even less visible when the ambient temperature is relatively high and it is entirely invisible when the temperature is set to MAX.

The set temperature is too low for steam ironing.

When you start steam ironing and when you stop steam ironing for a while, the steam still present in the supply hose cools down and condenses into water. This causes water droplets to come out of the soleplate.

Impurities or chemicals present in the water have deposited in the steam vents and/or on the soleplate.

Water is pumped into the steam generator.

The pumping sound does not stop.

The steam lock has been set to ‘on’.

Too much scale and minerals have accumulated inside the steam generator.

You have not tightened the Calc-clean rinsing cap properly.

Place the water tank properly in the steam generator (‘click’).

Set the iron to a lower temperature, e.g. 2, to check if the iron actually produces steam.

Set a temperature of 2or higher.

This is normal.When you start ironing or when you continue ironing after an interruption, hold the iron over an old cloth and press the steam trigger.Wait until steam instead of water comes out of the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.

This is normal.

Unplug the iron immediately and contact an authorised Philips service centre.

Set the steam lock to ‘off ’ if you only want to obtain steam when you press the steam trigger (see section ‘Steam lock function’).

Rinse the steam generator. See chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

Switch off the appliance, tighten the Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch on the appliance again. If steam continues to escape when the appliance is heating up, switch off the appliance and contact a service centre authorised by Philips.

Fungsi kunci uap

Kunci uap memungkinkan Anda untuk menyetrika uap tanpa henti dan tidak perlu terus-menerus menekan aktivator uap.

-- Bila Anda menggeser kunci uap ke depan, setrika akan menghasilkan uap terus-menerus. Untuk menghentikan uapnya, geser kunci uap ke belakang.

-- Bila kunci uap dinonaktifkan, setrika hanya menghasilkan uap bila Anda menekan pemicu uap.

Catatan: Lepaskan kunci uap bila Anda menaruh setrika pada tumitnya atau pada dudukannya.Hal ini mencegah uap panas keluar dari setrika atau membasahi dudukan setrika.

Menyetrika tanpa uap

Ada satu atau dua cara untuk menyetrika tanpa uap:

-- Semua jenis: Setrika saja tanpa menekan pemicu uap.

-- GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/GC8225/GC8220 saja: Anda juga dapat memilih setelan uap a (tanpa uap) dan mulai menyetrika.

Tip

-- Bila Anda menyetrika kain wol dengan uap, maka dapat muncul bercak mengkilap. Untuk mencegah hal ini, gunakan kain kering atau baliklah bagian dalam pakaian ke luar dan setrikalah bagian dalam tersebut.

-- Bahan sutera, wol dan sintetis: setrika di bagian belakang kain agar tidak menimbulkan bercak mengkilap.

-- Menyetrika kain beludru dan bahan lainnya cenderung menimbulkan bercak-bercak mengkilap hanya pada satu arah (searah bulu) bila Anda agak menekan alat saat menyetrika.

-- Jangan gunakan uap bila Anda menyetrika sutera berwarna. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan noda.
