temperature’).
Features
Spray function
You can use the spray function to remove stubborn creases at any temperature
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (Fig. 5).
Shot of steam
A powerful shot of steam helps to remove very stubborn creases.
The shot-of-steam function only works at temperature settings between 2 and MAX.
1 Press and release the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 6).
Vertical shot of steam (all types except gC2510)
1 The shot-of-steam function can also be used when you are holding the iron in vertical
position. This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc (Fig. 7).
Never direct the steam at people.
Drip stop (gC2652/gC2650/gC2560/gC2522 only)
This iron is equipped with a drip stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when
the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens
you will hear a click.
automatic shut-off (gC2560 only)
The electronic shut-off function automatically switches the heating element off if the iron has not
been moved for a while.
The automatic shut-off light starts blinking to indicate that the heating element has been
switched off (Fig. 8).
To let the iron heat up again, pick the iron up or move it slightly. The automatic shut-off light goes
out.
1 If the temperature light goes on, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.
2 If the temperature light does not go on, the iron is ready for use.
Cleaning and maintenance
Double-active Calc system
All types except GC2510: The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
The tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced (Fig. 9).
The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles.
Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when
flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), the Calc-Clean function should be used more
frequently.
1 Set the steam control to position O.
