Preparing for use
Filling the water tank
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents,
ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other
chemicals in the water tank.
1 Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2 Set the steam control to position O (= no
steam) (Fig. 2).
3 Openthecapofthellingopening.
4 Tilttheironandllthewatertankuptomaximum
level under the tap (Fig. 3).
Note: Do not ll the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
Note: If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise
you to use distilled water. Do not use chemically descaled
water.
5 Closethecapofthellingopening(‘click’).
Setting the temperature
1 Put the iron on its heel (Fig. 4).
2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the
temperature dial to the appropriate position.
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 fabric an article
is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by
ironing a part that is not 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 bres.
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
The temperature light goes on.
4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while
before you start ironing.
During ironing, the temperature light goes on from
time to time. This indicates that the iron is heating
up to the set temperature.
Using the appliance
Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for
the rst time. This stops after a short while.
Steam ironing
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water
tank.
2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see
chapter‘Preparingforuse’,section‘Settingthe
temperature’).
3 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure
that the steam setting is suitable for the ironing
temperature selected: (Fig. 2)
ç for minimum steam (temperature settings 2 and
3).
é for maximum steam (temperature settings 3
to MAX).
Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it has
reached the set temperature.

Features
Spray function
You can use the spray function at any temperature
to moisten the article to be ironed. This helps
remove stubborn creases.
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. 5).
Shot of steam (all types except GC2510)
A powerful shot of steam helps to remove very stubborn
creases.
The shot-of-steam function only works at temperature
settings between 2 and MAX.
1 Press and release the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 6).
Vertical shot of steam (all types except
GC2510)
You can also use the shot-of-steam function when
you hold the iron in vertical position. This is useful for
removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press and
release the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 7).
Never direct the steam at people.
Drip stop (GC2652/GC2650/GC2560/
GC2522 only)
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 hear a click.
Automatic shut-off function (GC2560 only)
The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off
the iron if it has not been moved for a while.
Theautomaticshut-offlightashestoindicatethat
the iron has been switched off by the automatic
shut-off function. (Fig. 8)
To let the iron heat up again:
1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
The automatic shut-off light goes out.
If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped
below the set ironing temperature, the temperature
light goes on.
2 If the temperature light goes on after you have
moved the iron, wait for it to go out before you
start ironing.
Note: If the temperature 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
Cleaning
1 Set the steam control to position O, remove the
plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool
down.
2 Wipeakesandanyotherdepositsoffthe
soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, 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 iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty
the water tank after you have rinsed it (Fig. 9).
Double-Active Calc System (all types except
GC2522/GC2510)
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc
tablet inside the water tank combined with the Calc-
Clean function.
The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the
steam vents. The tablet is constantly active and does
not need to be replaced (Fig. 10).
The Calc-Clean function removes scale particles
from the iron.
