- 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.

Using the appliance

Steam ironing

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

C1Select the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam

setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature

selected:

- 1 - 3 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2to 3)

- 4 - 6 for maximum steam (temperature settings 3to MAX)

See 'Setting the temperature'.

BThe iron will start producing steam as soon as the set temperature has

been reached.

Ironing without steam

C1Set the steam control to position O (= no steam).

2Select the recommended ironing temperature.

See 'Setting the temperature'.

Features

Spraying

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

temperature.

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

C1Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to

be ironed.

Shot of steam

A powerful 'shot' of steam helps remove stubborn creases.

The shot-of-steam function can only be used at temperature settings

between 2and MAX.

C1Press and release the shot-of-steam button.

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically

stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent

water from dripping out of the soleplate.When this happens you may

hear a sound.

Vertical shot of steam

C1The shot-of-steam function can also be used when you hold

the iron in vertical position.

Never direct the steam at people.

Automatic anti-calc function

C1The built-in anti-calc system reduces the build-up of scale and

guarantees a longer life for the iron.

and GC4233 only)

C1The electronic safety shut-off function automatically switches

off the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

has been switched off by the safety shut-off function.

To let the iron heat up again:

- Pick up the iron or move it slightly.

- The red auto-off pilot light goes out. If the temperature of the

soleplate has dropped below the set ironing temperature, the amber

temperature pilot light goes on.

- If the amber pilot light goes on after you have moved the iron, wait

for it to go out before you start ironing.

- If the amber pilot light does not go on after you move the iron, the

soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.

- The iron is equipped with a blue alert pilot light.

- The blue alert light burns as long as the iron is plugged in, even if the

iron has been switched off by the safety shut-off function.

Cleaning and maintenance

Using the calc-clean function

You can use the calc-clean function to remove scale and impurities.

◗Use the calc-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in

your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out from the

soleplate during ironing), the calc-clean function should be used

more frequently.

1Set the steam control to position O.

2Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

ENGLISH8

Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

C3Select the maximum ironing temperature.

4Put the plug in the wall socket.

5Unplug the iron when the amber temperature pilot light has

gone out.

C6Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the calc-clean

button and gently shake the iron to and fro.

BSteam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and

flakes (if any) will be flushed out.

7Release the calc-clean button as soon as all the water in the

tank has been used up.

Repeat the calc-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

After the calc-clean process

- Put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to allow the

soleplate to dry.

- Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
