Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket. Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself shows visible damage, or if the appliance has been dropped or is leaking. Check the cord regularly for possible damage. If the mains cord is damaged, always have it replaced by one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Never immerse the iron and the stand, if provided, in water. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. 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. Always place and use the iron and the stand, if provided, on a stable, level and horizontal surface. Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank. This appliance is intended for household use only. Before first use 1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate. 2 Let the iron heat up to maximum temperature and pass the iron over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residues from the soleplate. B A B C D The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.This will cease after a short while. ENGLISH Preparing for use Filling the water tank Never immerse the iron in water. 1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged. 2 Set the steam control to position O (= no steam) (fig. 1). 3 Tilt the iron backwards. 4 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the maximum level (fig. 2). Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication. If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal amount of distilled water or to use distilled water only. Setting the temperature 1 Put the iron on its heel. 2 Set the required ironing temperature by turning the temperature dial to the appropriate position (fig. 3). Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature: 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester) 1 Silk 2 Wool 3 Cotton, linen If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabic 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 fibers. 3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket. 4 When the temperature light has gone out, wait a while before you start ironing (fig. 4). The temperature light will go on from time to time during ironing. Using the appliance Steam ironing 1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank. 2 Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature'). 3 After the temperature light has gone out, set the steam control to the appropriate steam position. Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature selected: (fig. 5). q for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to 3) w for maximum steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX) The iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been reached. 7 8 ENGLISH Ironing without steam 1 Set the steam control to position O (= no steam). 2 Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature'). Features Spray function (GC1121/1120/1115/1015 only) You can use the spray function to remove stubborn creases at any temperature. 1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank. 2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (fig. 6). Extra steam (GC1121/1120 only) This function provides extra steam to remove very stubborn creases. The extra-steam function only works at temperature settings between 3 and MAX. 1 Set the steam control to position w (= maximum steam) (fig. 7). 2 Press and hold the steam control for a maximum of 5 seconds (fig. 8). 3 Release the steam control and wait at least 1 minute before using this function again to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. Cleaning and maintenance After ironing 1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down. 2 Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate. 3 Clean the upper part of the appliance with a damp cloth. 4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after cleaning. Calc-Clean function Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), the Calc-Clean function should be used more frequently. 1 Set the steam control to position O. 2 Set the temperature dial to MAX. 3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level. Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.. ENGLISH 4 Put the plug in the wall socket. 5 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out. 6 Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to the Calc-Clean position x (fig. 9). 7 Pull the steam control slightly upwards and gently shake the iron until all water in the tank has been used up. Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Scale (if any) will be flushed out. 8 After having used the Calc-Clean function, press the steam control back to its original position and set it to position O. Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water coming out of the iron still contains scale particles. After the Calc-Clean process 1 Connect the iron to the mains to let the soleplate dry. 2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out. 3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate. 4 Let the iron cool down before you store it. Cleaning the steam control needle 1 Pull the steam control out of the appliance (fig. 10). 2 Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (fig. 11). Do not bend or damage the steam control needle. 9 3 Reinsert the steam control needle by placing the point of the needle exactly in the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side of the needle into the slot (fig. 12). 4 Set the steam control to position O. Storage 1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged and set the steam control to position O. 2 Empty the water tank (fig. 13). 3 Wind the mains cord around the cord storage facility. 4 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place (fig. 14). Environment Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this you will help to preserve the environment (fig. 15).
