steam ironing
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the steam tank.
Steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures
,
(temperature settings 2 to MAX).
 Select a steam setting suitable for the selected ironing temperature:
- Select steam setting MIN (no steam) for temperature setting 1 (see

'Ironing without steam').

- Select a low to medium steam setting for temperature setting 2.
- Select a medium to MAX steam setting for temperature settings 3
to MAX.
 The steam tank and the soleplate will now heat up.
- Cold start: the soleplate takes approximately 2 minutes to heat up and
the steam tank takes approximately 8 minutes to heat up.
- Quick reheat: if you refill the steam tank during the ironing process, the
water in the steam tank will take approximately 6 minutes to heat up.
 As soon as the water in the steam tank is hot enough for steam
ironing, the steam tank power-on light goes out (GC6106, GC610,
GC610, GC610 only). The steam-ready light goes on (GC6107
only).
During steam ironing the steam-ready light goes on from time to
,
time. This indicates that the steam tank is being heated up to the
right temperature.
5 Keep the steam activator pressed in while you are steam ironing.
If you want to use the steam function continuously, slide the steam
,
activator lock to the locking position.
6 To stop steaming, release the steam activator lock.
If you have not used the steam function for some time, the steam that was
still present in the supply hose will have condensed into water. When you
start steam ironing again, this may cause some spluttering in the appliance
and a few droplets of water may escape from the soleplate.
Note: To prevent droplets from falling onto your garments, hold the iron over
an old cloth and press the steam activator until the steam production has
normalised before you start steam ironing again.
