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 polyolens (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.
