Problem
Some smoke comes out of the
appliance after you have switched the
appliance on for the first time.
White particles come out of the
soleplate of your new iron.
Droplets of water escape from the
soleplate.
The appliance does not produce
steam.
I don't see any steam coming out of
the soleplate.
The soleplate is dirty.
Possible cause(s)
This is normal. Some parts of the iron
have been greased lightly in the
factory.
This is normal with a new iron.
The temperature dial (I) has been set
to a temperature that is too low for
steam ironing.
The steam tank has been placed on an
unstable and/or uneven surface.
When you start steam ironing, the
hose is cold. Steam condenses in the
hose, causing droplets of water to
escape from the soleplate.
The steam tank has not been switched
on.
The 'steam tank heating up' pilot light
is still on (types GC6268/GC6265/
GC6068/GC6065/GC6029 only).
Superheated (i.e. high-quality) steam is
hardly visible, especially when the
temperature dial has been set to
maximum position and even less so
when the ambient temperature is
relatively high.
Impurities or chemicals present in the
water have deposited on the soleplate.
You have been ironing at too high
temperatures.
Solution
This phenomenon will cease after a
short while.
These particles are harmless and they
will stop coming out of the soleplate
when you have used the iron a few
times.
Select the required ironing
temperature as indicated in these
instructions and the table.
Put the steam tank on a stable and
even surface.
This is normal. Hold the iron over an
old cloth and press the steam activator
button (H).The cloth will absorb the
drops. After a few seconds the steam
production will have normalised.
Set the on/off switch (D) to 'on'.
Wait until the pilot light has gone out.
To check if the iron is really producing
steam, hold a (cold) mirror in front of
the soleplate vents.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Select the recommended ironing
temperature.
