Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
1for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
1for silk
2for wool
3for cotton
MAX for 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 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.To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic bres.
4 Plugintheappliance.Iftheappliancehasanearthedplug,putthe
mainspluginanearthedwallsocket.
Theambertemperaturelightgoeson.
5 Whentheambertemperaturelighthasgoneout,waitawhile
beforeyoustartironing.
The temperature light goes on from time to time during ironing.
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requiredironingtemperature(seechapter‘Preparingfor
use’,section‘Settingthetemperature).
3 Settheappropriatesteamsetting.Makesurethatthesteamsetting

Note:The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it reaches the set
temperature.
Note: If the set ironing temperature is too low (MIN to 2), water may drip
from the soleplate (see chapter ‘Features, section ‘Drip stop’).
Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430
only)
When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the
steam produced is ner than during regular steam ironing. Fine steam
reaches deeper, especially into thick fabrics.This helps you to remove
stubborn creases easily.
1 Followsteps1to3insection‘Steamironing’.
2 PressandholdtheIonicDeepSteambutton(Fig.8).
TheIonicDeepSteamlightgoesonandyouhearahummingsound
(Fig.9).
3 TheironnowproducesIonicDeepSteamtohelpyouremoveeven
thetoughestcreases.
Note:The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in
combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between 2
and MAX.
Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam
and/or at low temperature settings. However, ironing at low temperatures
without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on will not
damage the iron.
Note:The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on
the ironing temperature.
Ironing without steam
1 Setthesteamcontroltoposition0(=nosteam)(Fig.2).
DonotusetheIonicDeepSteamfunction,asthisfunctionhasnoeffect
whenyouironwithoutsteam.

2 Ifyouhavebeensteamironing,emptythewatertank.
3 Let the iron cool down in a safe place.
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.10).
Steam boost function
A steam boost from the special Steam Tip soleplate helps remove
stubborn creases.The steam boost enhances the distribution of steam
into every part of your garment.
The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings
between 3 and MAX.
1 Pressandreleasethesteamboostbutton(Fig.11).
Vertical steam boost
1 Youcanalsousethesteamboostfunctionwhenyouholdtheiron
inverticalposition(Fig.12).
This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.
Never direct the steam at people.
ENGLISH 11
4239.000.6222.4.indd 11 16-11-2007 14:07:06

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.
Automatic shut-off function (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430,
GC4425,GC4422, GC4420, GC4412 only)
The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it
has not been moved for a while.
TheredAUTO/OFFindicationofthetemperaturelightashesto
indicatethattheironhasbeenswitchedoffbytheautomaticshut-
offfunction.
To let the iron heat up again:
1 Pickuptheironormoveitslightly.
TheredAUTO/OFFindicationgoesout.
Ifthetemperatureofthesoleplatehasdroppedbelowtheset
ironingtemperature,theambertemperaturelightgoeson.
2 Iftheambertemperaturelightgoesonafteryouhavemovedthe
iron,waitforittogooutbeforeyoustartironing.
Note: If the amber 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.
Delicate fabric protector (GC4425, GC4415 only)
The delicate fabric protector protects delicate fabrics from heat damage
and shiny patches.
With the delicate fabric protector you can iron delicate fabrics (silk, wool
and nylon) at temperature settings 3 to MAX in combination with all
steam functions available on the iron.
The delicate fabric protector reduces the soleplate temperature instantly,
thus allowing you to iron delicate fabrics safely.
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 will not be
visible when you wear or use the article.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 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.

afteryouhaverinsedit.
Double-Active Calc System
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the
water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.
1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
Using the Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your
area is very hard (i.e. when akes come out of the soleplate during
ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1 Makesuretheapplianceisunplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.
3 Fillthewatertanktothemaximumlevel.
Donotputvinegarorotherdescalingagentsinthewatertank.
