using the appliance
Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This stops after a short while.
steam ironing
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the
temperature).
 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for
the set ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)
1 - 3 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to 3)
4 - 6 for strong steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)
Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it reaches the set temperature.
Note: If the set ironing temperature is too low (MIN to 2), water may drip from the soleplate (see
chapter ‘Features, section ‘Drip stop’).
ironing with ionic Deepsteam (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430 only)
When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the steam produced is finer than
during regular steam ironing. Fine steam reaches deeper, especially into thick fabrics. This helps you
to remove stubborn creases easily.
1 Follow steps 1 to 3 in section ‘Steam ironing’.
 Press and hold the Ionic DeepSteam button (Fig. 8).
The Ionic DeepSteam light goes on and you hear a humming sound (Fig. 9).
 The iron now produces Ionic DeepSteam to help you remove even the toughest creases.
Note: The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in combination with a steam setting
and a temperature setting between 2 and MAX.
Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam and/or at low temperature
settings. However, ironing at low temperatures without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function
switched on will not damage the iron.
Note: The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on the ironing temperature.
ironing without steam
1 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 2).
Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function, as this function has no effect when you iron without
steam.
 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the
temperature’).
after ironing
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
 If you have been steam ironing, empty the water tank.
 Let the iron cool down in a safe place.
