indicates that the iron is heating up to the set temperature.

, The steam light starts ashing. After approx. 2 minutes, the steam

light stays on continuously to indicate that the steam generator is

ready for steam ironing.

- GC8210 only: Set the on/off switch to ‘on’.

, The power-on light in the on/off switch goes on.

, The temperature light on the iron goes on. When the iron has

reached the set temperature, the temperature light goes out.

Note: During ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time. This

indicates that the iron is heating up to the set temperature.

, After approx. 2 minutes, the steam generator is ready for steam

ironing.



- 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.

- 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 a fabric consists of 60% polyester and 40%

cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (

1) and without steam.

- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

i.e. those made of synthetic materials.

- If you set a lower temperature during ironing, wait until the iron has

cooled down to the set temperature before you continue ironing. To

make the iron cool down faster, simply press the steam trigger or iron

a piece of cloth.

Steam ironing

The supply hose may become hot during a long ironing session.

Note: The system may occasionally produce a pumping sound during steam

ironing. This is normal and tells you that water is pumped into the steam

generator.

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

2 Make sure the appliance is plugged in and switched on (see chapter

‘Preparing for use’).

3 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for

use’).

Steam ironing is only possible at ironing temperatures higher than 2.

4 GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/GC8225/GC8220 only: Set

the required steam setting with the + and - buttons on the steam

generator control panel.

p for maximum steam (temperature setting MAX).

[ for moderate steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX).

] for minimum steam (temperature settings 2 to MAX).

a for no steam (temperature settings 1 to MAX).

, The steam light ashes to indicate that the steam generator is

heating up.

, After approx. 2 minutes, the steam light stays on continuously to

indicate that the steam generator is ready for steam ironing.

Note: During ironing, you can adjust the steam setting with the + and - steam

buttons. It takes a few moments before the amount of steam is adjusted.

5 Press the steam trigger to start steam ironing.

When you put down the iron during ironing, put it on its heel or on the

iron stand.

, The opening and closing of the steam valve in the steam generator

causes a clicking sound. This is normal.

Steam lock function

The steam lock allows you to steam iron non-stop without having to press

the steam activator continuously.

- When you slide the steam lock forwards, the iron produces steam

continuously. To stop steaming, slide the steam lock backwards.

- When the steam lock is deactivated, the iron only produces steam

when you press the steam trigger.

Note: Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron

stand. This prevents that hot steam escapes from the iron or that the iron

stand gets wet.

Vertical steaming

Never direct the steam at people.

ENGLISH10

1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press the steam trigger to

steam iron hanging curtains and clothes (jackets, suits, coats).

Note: Use the shot-of-steam function intermittently. If water droplets come out

of the soleplate, let the iron heat up for at least one minute before you use the

shot-of-steam function again.

Ironing without steam

There are one or two ways to iron without steam:

- All types: Simply start ironing without pressing the steam trigger.

- GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/GC8225/GC8220 only: Select

steam setting a (no steam) and start ironing.



- 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.

- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric

to prevent shiny patches.

- 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.



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

The appliance does

not become hot.

There is a connection problem. Check the mains cord, the plug and

the wall socket.

You have not switched on the appliance. GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/

GC8260/GC8225/GC8220: Press

the on/off button. GC8210: set the

on/off switch to ‘on’.

The set temperature is too low. Set a higher temperature.

Smoke comes out of

my new iron when I

switch it on.

Some parts of the appliance have been

lightly greased in the factory and may

initially give off some smoke when heated.

This phenomenon is normal and

ceases after a short while.

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

detachable water tank’.

The steam generator has not heated up

sufciently.

Wait approx. 2 minutes. GC8325/

GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/

GC8225/GC8220 only: wait until the

steam light stays on continuously.

The set ironing temperature is too low

for steam ironing.

Set a temperature of 2 or higher.

GC8325/GC8320/GC8261/GC8260/

GC8225/GC8220 only: You have set

steam setting a (no steam).

Set steam setting ] (minimum

steam), [ (moderate steam) or p

(maximum steam).

ENGLISH 15

Problem Cause Solution

You have not placed the water

tank properly in the steam generator.

Place the water tank properly in the

steam generator (‘click’).

When the iron is set to a very high

temperature, the steam produced is

dry and hardly visible. It is even less

visible when the ambient temperature is

relatively high and it is entirely invisible

when the temperature is set to MAX.

Set the iron to a lower temperature,

e.g. 2, to check if the iron actually

produces steam.

Water droplets

come out of the

soleplate.

The set temperature is too low for steam

ironing.

Set a temperature of 2 or higher.

When you start steam ironing and when

you stop steam ironing for a while, the

steam still present in the supply hose

cools down and condenses into water.

This causes water droplets to come out

of the soleplate.

This is normal. When you start

ironing or when you continue

ironing after an interruption, hold

the iron over an old cloth and press

the steam trigger. Wait until steam

instead of water comes out of the

soleplate.

Flakes and impurities

come out of the

soleplate or the

soleplate is dirty.

Impurities or chemicals present in the

water have deposited in the steam vents

and/or on the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp

cloth.

The appliance

produces a pumping

sound.

Water is pumped into the steam

generator.

This is normal.

The pumping sound does not stop. Unplug the iron immediately and

contact an authorised Philips service

centre.

The iron produces

steam continuously.

The steam lock has been set to ‘on’. Set the steam lock to ‘off’ if you only

want to obtain steam when you

press the steam trigger (see section

‘Steam lock function’).

Dirty water comes

out of the soleplate.

Too much scale and minerals have

accumulated inside the steam generator.

Rinse the steam generator. See

chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

Steam escapes from

under the Calc-

Clean rinsing cap

when the appliance

heats up.

You have not tightened the Calc-clean

rinsing cap properly.

Switch off the appliance, tighten the

Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch

on the appliance again. If steam

continues to escape when the

appliance is heating up, switch off the

appliance and contact a service

centre authorised by Philips.

ENGLISH16

Problem Cause Solution

The iron does not

produce enough

steam/the amount

of steam decreases

and increases during

steam ironing.

When the appliance pumps water into

the steam generator, the steam amount

sometimes decreases. This is probably

when you think that the iron does not

produce enough steam. However, this is

a normal phenomenon and the steam

output normalises within a few seconds.

To optimise the steam output,

release the steam lock when you do

not need steam and when you put

down the iron.

Wet spots appear

on the fabric during

ironing.

The wet spots that appear on the fabric

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 with a piece

of dry cloth.

To prevent steam from condensing

onto the ironing board, use an

ironing board with a wire mesh top.

GC8325/GC8320/

GC8261/GC8260/

GC8225/GC8220

only: Water droplets

come out of the

soleplate when I use

the shot-of-steam

function.

Steam may have condensed in the hose,

the temperature may have been set

below 3 or the appliance may not be

ready for steam ironing.

Make sure the temperature is set to

3 or higher. Steam iron for a few

seconds before you use the shot-of-

steam function.

Забележка: При първото използване ютията може да отдели малко

дим. Това е нормално и след малко престава.

Забележка: Когато използвате ютията за пръв път, от гладещата

повърхност е възможно да паднат частици. Това е нормално;

частиците са безвредни и след малко престават да падат.

Забележка: Когато включите уреда, парният генератор издава

бълбукащ звук. Това е нормално; този звук показва, че към парния

генератор се изпомпва вода.

1 Махнете всякакви лепенки или защитно фолио от гладещата

повърхност и я почистете с мека кърпа.

1 Поставете генератора за пара върху стабилна и равна

повърхност, например върху твърдата част на дъска за гладене

или на маса.

Можете да пълните водния резервоар по всяко време при гладене.

Не сипвайте във водния резервоар гореща вода, парфюм, оцет, кола,

препарати за отстраняване на накип, помощни препарати за гладене

или други химикали.

Не препълвайте водния резервоар, тъй като може да се разлее вода

през отвора за пълнене при монтирането на резервоара.

1 Свалете подвижния воден резервоар от парния генератор.

2 Напълнете резервоара за вода с чешмяна вода до обозначението

МАХ.

Забележка: Ако чешмяната вода във вашия район е много твърда,

съветваме ви да смесвате чешмяната вода с равен обем дестилирана

вода.

3 Вмъкнете добре водния резервоар отново в парния генератор (с

щракване).

Забележка: Ако водният резервоар не е поставен добре, ютията няма
