Using the appliance

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.
