2 Press the steam trigger until you no longer hear any steam escaping from the
appliance (Fig. 5).
3 To depressurise the steam tank, keep the steam trigger pressed in and slowly unscrew the
steam tank cap anticlockwise.
Place a piece of cloth over the cap when you unscrew it. Make sure there is no steam left in the
steam tank.
4 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and wait approximately 15 minutes for the
appliance to cool down.
5 Fill the steam tank as described in section ‘Filling the steam tank’ and let the appliance heat
up again.
Setting the temperature
Always place the steam tank on a stable, level and horizontal surface. Do not put the steam tank
on the soft part of the ironing board.
1 Put the iron on the iron stand.
Do not put the hot iron on the supply hose or the mains cord. Make sure the cord does not
come into contact with the hot soleplate.
2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate
position (Fig. 6).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
Laundry care table
Symbol on laundry
care label Type of fabric Temperature setting Steam setting (GC6540 only)
BSynthetic fabrics (e.g. acetate, acrylic,
viscose, polyamide, polyester) and
silk
1-
CWool 2ECO
DCotton, linen 3to Max ECO to ;
ZPlease note that Zon the label
means that the article cannot be
ironed.
- -
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.
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 and set the on/off switch to ‘I’.
,The steam tank and the soleplate heat up.
,When the temperature light goes out, the iron has reached the set temperature.As soon as
the water in the steam tank is ready for steam ironing:
- GC6540: the ‘steam ready’ light goes on.
- GC6530/GC6520/GC6515/GC6510: the power-on light in the on/off switch goes out.
ENGLISH8
4239_000_7743_2_A5-Booklet_v2.indd 8 3/4/11 9:16 AM

Note: During steam ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time.This indicates that the iron
is heating up to the set temperature.
Note: If you have been ironing at a high temperature and then set the temperature dial to a lower
setting, wait until the temperature light goes on and goes out again before you continue ironing.This
prevents damage to your fabrics.
Tips
- If the fabric consists of various kinds of bres, always select the temperature required by the
most delicate bre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester ( 1)
and without steam.
- When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur.To prevent this, use a dry
pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with
the nap) while you apply very little pressure.
- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk.This could cause stains.
Using the appliance
Steam ironing
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the steam tank.
2 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
Note: Steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures (temperature settings 2to MAX).
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and set the on/off switch to ‘I’.
- The power-on light in the on/off switch and the temperature light on the iron go on to indicate
that the steam tank and the iron start to heat up.
4 GC6540: Select a steam setting suitable for the selected ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)
- Select steam setting ECO for temperature setting 2.
- Select a steam setting between ECO and ;for temperature settings 3to MAX.
5 The steam tank and the soleplate heat up.
- Cold start: the soleplate takes approximately 2 minutes to heat up and the steam tank takes
approximately 6 minutes to heat up.
- Quick reheat: if you rell the steam tank during the ironing process, the water in the steam
tank takes approximately 6 minutes to heat up.
,When the iron has reached the set temperature, the temperature light goes out.
,As soon as the water in the steam tank is ready for steam ironing:
- GC6540: the ‘steam ready’ light goes on (Fig. 8).
Note: During steam ironing, the ‘steam ready’ light goes out from time to time.This indicates that the
steam tank is heating up to the right temperature.
- GC6530/GC6520/GC6515/GC6510: the power-on light in the on/off switch goes out.
6 Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed while you steam iron (Fig. 5).
Tip:When you put down the iron during ironing, put it on its heel.
Note: If you have not used the steam function for some time, the steam that was still present in the
supply hose has condensed into water.When you start steam ironing again, this may cause some
spluttering in the appliance and a few droplets of water may escape from the soleplate.
Note:To prevent droplets from falling onto your garments, hold the iron over an old cloth and press the
steam trigger until the steam production has normalised before you start steam ironing again.
ENGLISH 9

- To stop steam ironing, slide the steam lock to position ‘OFF’, the iron now only produces steam
when you press the steam trigger.
Ironing without steam
1 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
2 Iron without pressing the steam trigger.
,Some steam escapes if you press the steam trigger by accident while you iron.
,If the steam tank is empty or has not heated up yet, you hear a clicking sound inside the
steam tank.This happens when the steam valve opens and is perfectly harmless.

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance.
If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact the Consumer Care
Centre in your country.
Problem Cause Solution
Some smoke
comes out of the
appliance after it
has been
switched on for
the rst time.
This is normal. Some parts of the
appliance have been greased lightly in
the factory.
This phenomenon ceases after a
short while.
Dirt particles
come out of the
soleplate of the
new iron.
This is normal with a new iron. These particles are harmless
and stop coming out of the
soleplate after you have used the
iron a few times.
Droplets of
water escape
from the
soleplate.
The temperature dial has been set to
a temperature that is too low for
steam ironing.
Set an ironing temperature that is
suitable for steam ironing
(temperature settings 2to MAX).
The appliance is not switched on. Set the on/off switch to ‘I’.
The steam tank has been placed on an
unstable and/or uneven surface. Put the steam tank on a stable and even surface.
When you start steam ironing, the
hose is cold. Steam condenses in the
hose, causing droplets of water to
escape from the soleplate.
This is normal. Hold the iron over an
old cloth and press the steam trigger.
The cloth absorbs the drops.After a
few seconds, the steam production
becomes normal.
The appliance
does not
produce any
steam.
The appliance is not switched on. Set the on/off switch to ‘I’
The steam tank is not hot enough to
produce steam. Wait 6 minutes for the steam tank to heat up.
You are not pressing the steam trigger. Press the steam trigger and keep
it pressed while you steam iron.
There is not enough water in the
steam tank. Fill the steam tank. See chapter ‘Preparing for use - Filling the
Steam tank’.
ENGLISH12
4239_000_7743_2_A5-Booklet_v2.indd 12 3/4/11 9:16 AM

Problem Cause Solution
No steam comes
out of the
soleplate.
Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam is
hardly visible, especially when the
temperature dial is set to maximum
position and even less so when the
ambient temperature is relatively high.
To check if the iron really produces
steam, hold a (cold) mirror in front
of the soleplate vents.
The soleplate
is dirty. Impurities or chemicals present in the water have deposited on the soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth. Set the iron to the required
ironing temperature (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting
the temperature’).
Steam escapes
from the lling
hole area during
ironing.
You may not have tightened the steam
tank cap properly or you have spilled
some water around the lling hole
Switch off the appliance and let it
cool down. Remove the steam tank
cap, wipe away the water round the
lling hole and tighten the steam
tank cap again.Then switch on the
appliance again.
Wet spots
appear on the
garment during
ironing
The wet spots that appear on your
garment after you have steam ironed
for some time may be caused by
steam that has condensed onto the
ironing board. Iron the wet spots
without steam for some time to dry
them. If the underside of the ironing
board is wet, wipe it dry with a piece
of dry cloth.
To prevent steam from condensing
onto the ironing board, use an
ironing board with a wire mesh top.

,Nårtemperaturindikatorenslukker,harstrygejernetnåetdenindstilledetemperatur.Når
vandet i damptanken er varmt nok til dampstrygning:
- GC6540: Lysindikatoren for “damp klar” tænder.
- GC6530/GC6520/GC6515/GC6510: Lyset i on/off-kontakten slukker.
Bemærk: Under dampstrygning tænder og slukker temperaturindikatoren fra tid til anden. Dette indikerer
blot, at strygejernet opvarmes til den indstillede temperatur.
Bemærk: Hvis du har strøget ved høj temperatur og derefter indstiller temperaturvælgeren til en lavere
temperatur, skal du vente, indtil temperaturindikatoren tænder og slukker igen, før du fortsætter med at
stryge. Så undgår du at beskadige stoffet.
Gode råd
- Hvis stoffet er fremstillet af ere slags bre, skal du altid vælge den temperatur, som passer til
den sarteste bertype, dvs. den laveste temperatur. Hvis et stykke tøj f.eks. består af 60 %
polyester og 40 % bomuld, bør det stryges ved den temperatur, som passer til polyester ( 1), og
uden damp.
- Når du stryger uldstoffer, kan der opstå blanke skjolder. For at undgå dette skal du bruge en tør
klud til at lægge imellem eller vende vrangen ud på tøjet og stryge det på bagsiden.
- Fløjl og andre stoffer, som har tendens til at få blanke skjolder, bør kun stryges i én retning (med
luven) og kun med et let tryk.
- Undlad at bruge damp ved strygning af indfarvede silkestoffer, da det kan give skjolder på tøjet.
Sådan bruges apparatet
Dampstrygning
1 Sørgfor,atderernokvandidamptanken.
2 Indstildenønskedestrygetemperatur(seafsnittet“Klargøring”).
Bemærk: Dampstrygning er kun mulig ved høje strygetemperaturer (temperaturindstillingerne 2til
MAX).
3 Sætstikketienjordetstikkontaktogsæton/off-kontaktenpå“I”.
- Lyset i on/off-kontakten og temperaturindikatoren på strygejernet viser nu, at damptanken og
strygejernet varmer op.
4 GC6540:Vælgdendampindstilling,sompassertildenvalgtestrygetemperatur:(g.7)
- Vælg dampindstillingen ECO til temperaturindstillingen 2.
- Vælg en dampindstilling mellem ECO og ;for temperaturindstillinger fra 3til MAX.
5 Damptankenogstrygesålenvarmerop.
- Koldstart: Det tager ca. 2 minutter at varme strygesålen op, og ca. 6 minutter at opvarme
damptanken.
- Hurtig genopvarmning: Hvis du fylder vand på damptanken i løbet af en strygeproces, tager
genopvarmningen ca. 6 minutter.
,Nårstrygejernetharnåetdenindstilledetemperatur,slukkertemperaturindikatoren.
,Såsnartvandetivandtankenervarmtnoktildampstrygning:
- GC6540: Lysindikatoren for “damp klar” tænder (g. 8).
Bemærk: Under dampstrygning slukker lysindikatoren for “damp klar” indimellem. Dette indikerer, at
damptanken opvarmes til den valgte temperatur.
- GC6530/GC6520/GC6515/GC6510: Lyset i on/off-kontakten slukker.

6 Trykpådampudløseren,ogholddennede,mensdudampstryger(g.5).
Tip: Når du stiller strygejernet fra dig under strygningen, skal det stå på højkant.
Bemærk: Har du ikke brugt dampfunktionen i et stykke tid, vil den resterende damp i dampslangen være
fortættet til vand. Når du begynder at dampstryge igen, kan det få strygejernet til at sprutte, og der kan
dryppe et par vanddråber ud igennem strygesålen.
Bemærk: For at undgå at der drypper vand på tøjet, holdes strygejernet over en gammel klud og
dampudløseren holdes nede, indtil dampproduktionen er blevet normal. Herefter kan dampstrygningen
fortsættes.
Damplåsfunktion
Damplåsen gør det muligt at dampstryge uden hele tiden at skulle trykke på dampudløseren.
1 Skubdamplåsenoveripositionen“ON”foratdampstygeheletiden(g.9).
- Skub damplåsen over i positionen “OFF” for at at stoppe dampstrygningen. Derved producerer
strygejernet kun damp, når du trykker på dampudløseren.
Tørstrygning (uden damp)

Dette kapitel opsummerer de mest almindelige problemer, du kan støde på ved brug af
apparatet. Hvis du ikke kan løse problemet ved hjælp af nedenstående oplysninger, bedes du
kontakte Philips Kundecenter.
Problem Årsag Løsning
Der kommer røg
ud af apparatet,
første gang det
tændes.
Dette er helt normalt og skyldes, at
nogle af delene i apparatet er smurt
med olie fra fabrikkens side.
Dette ophører efter kort tid.
Der drysser
smudspartikler
ud af det nye
strygejerns
strygesål.
Det er helt normalt for et nyt
strygejern. Partiklerne er helt harmløse og forsvinder efter et par ganges brug
af strygejernet.
Der drypper
vand ud af
strygesålen.
Temperaturvælgeren er indstillet til en
temperatur, som er for lav til
dampstrygning.
Indstil en strygetemperatur, som
egner sig til dampstrygning
(temperaturindstillinger fra 2til
MAX).
Der er ikke tændt for apparatet. Stil on/off-kontakten på “I”.
Damptanken er placeret på et ustabilt
og/eller ujævnt underlag. Stil damptanken på et stabilt og jævnt underlag.
Når dampstrygningen påbegyndes, er
slangen kold. Dampen i slangen
omdannes til kondensvand, som
drypper ud gennem strygesålen.
Det er helt normalt. Hold
strygejernet hen over en gammel
klud og tryk på dampudløseren.
Kluden opsuger dråberne. Efter
nogle sekunder er
dampproduktionen normal.
Apparatet
producerer ingen
damp.
Der er ikke tændt for apparatet. Stil on/off-kontakten på “I”.
Damptanken er ikke varm nok til at
producere damp. Vent i 6 minutter, indtil damptanken er varmet op.
Du trykker ikke på dampudløseren. Tryk på dampudløseren, og hold den
nede, mens du dampstryger.
Der er ikke nok vand i damptanken. Fyld damptanken. Se afsnittet
“Klargøring - Fyldning af
damptanken”.
