wall socket.
The temperature dial is set
to MIN.
Set the temperature dial to the required
position.
The iron does not
produce any steam.
There is not enough water
in the water tank.
Fill the water tank (see chapter ‘Preparing
for use’, section ‘Filling the water tank’).
The steam control is set to
position 0.

(see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section
‘Steam ironing’).
The iron is not hot

does not work
properly.
You have used the steam
boost function too often
within a very short period.
Continue ironing in horizontal position
and wait a while before you use the
steam boost function again.
The iron is not hot enough. Set an ironing temperature at which the
steam boost function can be used ( 3
to MAX). Put the iron on its heel and
wait until the temperature light goes out
before you use the steam boost function.
Flakes and
impurities come
out of the soleplate
during ironing.
Hard water forms akes
inside the soleplate.
Use the Calc-Clean function one or
more times (see chapter ‘Cleaning
and maintenance’, section ‘Calc-Clean
function’).
The light on the
handle ashes
(GC2860 only).
The automatic shut-off
function has been activated
(see chapter ‘Features’,
section ‘Automatic shut-
off’).
Pick the iron up or move it slightly to
deactivate the automatic shut-off function.
The automatic shut-off light goes out.
Water droplets
drip on the fabric
during ironing.
You have not closed the
cap of the lling opening
properly.
Press the cap until you hear a click.
The set temperature is too
low for steam ironing.
Set an ironing temperature that is suitable
for steam ironing ( 2 to MAX). Put
the iron on its heel and wait until the
temperature light goes out before you
start ironing.
You have put an additive in
the water tank.
Rinse the water tank and do not put any
additive in the water tank.
You have used the steam
boost function at a setting
below 3.
Set the temperature dial to a setting
between 3 and MAX.
You have used the steam
boost function too often
within a short period.
Continue ironing in horizontal position
and wait a while before you use the
steam boost function again.
Water drips from
the soleplate after
the iron has cooled
down or has been
stored.
You have put the iron in
horizontal position while
there was still water in the
water tank.
Empty the water tank and set the steam
control to position 0 after use. Store the
iron on its heel.
Water spots
appear on the
garment during
ironing.
These wet spots may
be caused by steam that
has condensed onto the
ironing board.
Iron wet spots without steam from time
to 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 wire mesh top.

Note: Refer to chapter ‘General description’ for the specic type numbers.
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.
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 pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
4 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 11).
5 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
7 Hold the iron over the sink. Push the steam control to the Calc-Clean position
and hold it. Gently shake the iron to and fro (Fig. 12).

9 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the Calc-Clean process
1 Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the
soleplate dry.
2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

that may have formed on the soleplate.
Storage

let the iron cool down.
2 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (Fig. 13).
3 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place.
Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the
end of its life, but hand it in at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing
this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 14).
