Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and

save them for future reference.

◗Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to

the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.

◗Check the cord regularly for possible damage.

◗Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance

itself is damaged.

◗If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a

service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons

in order to avoid a hazard.

◗Never leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the

mains.

◗Never immerse the iron 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 0, put

the iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall

socket.

◗This appliance is intended for household use only.

Before first use

C1Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate.

2Let 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.

BThe iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.This

will cease after a short while.

Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

Never immerse the iron in water.

1Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

C2Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam).

3Open the cap of the filling opening.

4Tilt the iron backwards.

ENGLISH4

C5Fill the water tank with tap water up to the maximum level by

means of the filling cup.

Do not fill the tank beyond the MAX indication.

◗If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to use

distilled water.

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing additives

chemically descaled water or other chemicals in the water tank.

6Close the filling cap (click!).

Setting the temperature

1Put the iron on its heel.

C2Set the required ironing temperature by turning the

temperature dial to the appropriate position.

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:

-1Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)

-1Silk

-2Wool

-3Cotton, linen

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.

3Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

C4When the amber temperature pilot light has gone out, wait a

while before you start ironing.

The amber pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.

Using the appliance

Steam ironing

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

2Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter

'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature').

ENGLISH 5

C3Select the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam

setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature

selected:

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

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

BThe iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been

reached.

Ironing without steam

1Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam).

2Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter

'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature').

Features

Spray function

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

temperature.

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

C2Press 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.

Vertical shot of steam

BTypes GC3135, GC3130, GC3126, GC3125, GC3120, GC3121,

GC3117, GC3116, GC3115, GC3111, GC3110.

Drip stop

BTypes GC3135, GC3130, GC3126, GC3125, GC3120, GC3121,

GC3115.

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.

Automatic anti-calc system

BTypes GC3135, GC3130, GC3126, GC3125, GC3120, GC3121,

GC3117, GC3116.

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

guarantees a longer life for the iron.

Electronic safety shut-off function

BType GC3135 only.

C◗The electronic safety shut-off function automatically switches off

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

◗The red auto-off pilot light starts blinking to indicate that the iron

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.

Cleaning and maintenance

After ironing

1Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron

cool down.

2Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a

damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.

ENGLISH 7

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.

3Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

4Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water

tank after cleaning.

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 of the soleplate

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

frequently.

1Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

2Set the steam control to position 0.

3Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

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

C4Select the maximum ironing temperature.

5Put the plug in the wall socket.

6Unplug the iron when the amber temperature pilot light has

gone out.

C7Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the calc-clean

button and gently shake the iron to and fro.

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

flakes (if any) will be flushed out.

8Release 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.

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

water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.

- Let the iron cool down before you store it.
