Important

For optimal safety, first read these instructions before you are going to

use the iron:

- The user must not leave the iron unattended while it is connected to

the supply.

- This appliance is not intended for use by young children without

supervision.

- Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the appliance.

- The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause

burns if touched.

- Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.

- After finished ironing, during filling or emptying the water tank or

even when you leave the iron for a while, unplug from the wall

socket, set the steam control to position 0 and put the iron on its

heel.

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips or its

service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a

hazard.

Before first use

1Check if the voltage rating on the typeplate corresponds to the

mains supply in your home.

C2Remove any sticker, protective foil or storage cover (Type

GC4043, GC4040, GC4028, GC4025 only) from the soleplate.

3Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a

piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residue

on the soleplate.

The iron may give out some smoke when using it for the first time.

After a short while this will cease.

Filling the water tank

Do not immerse the iron in water.

try to iron on a spot which will be invisible when you wear it.

- Silk, woolen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the

fabric to prevent shiny spots.To prevent stains, avoid using the spray

function.

- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

such as those made of synthetic fibers.

4Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

C5When the amber temperature pilot light has first gone out,

wait for a while before start ironing.

BThe amber pilot light will come on from time to time during ironing.

For Auto-shut-off versions (type GC4043, GC4040, GC4038,

GC4035, GC4033, GC4030 only)

If the Auto-shut-off is activated (red pilot light blinks), move the iron

slightly to deactivate it (blinking stops).

Cleaning and maintenance

Calc-Clean

This is a Calc-Cleaning function which removes scale and impurities.

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-cleaning process if the iron still contains a lot of

impurities.

After calc-cleaning

- Plug in the iron to let the soleplate dry up.

- Unplug the iron when the amber pilot light has gone out.

- Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any

water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
