1
Place the appliance on a stable and even surface.
Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing
board.

Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

Remove the mains cord and water supply hose from the storage compartment.
4
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/of switch to switch on the
appliance.
5
Turn the temperature dial to set the appropriate temperature according to the table above. The
appliance adjusts the steam automatically depending on the temperature chosen.
Note: refer to the garment label for recommended temperature setting. Do not iron non-ironable
fabrics.

Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously (Fig. 4). This takes about 2 minutes.
7
For GC6730 series only: press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform
(Fig. 5).
8
Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 6).
Warning: Never direct steam at people.
Note: When you use the appliance for the irst time, it may take 30 seconds for steam to come out
of the appliance.
Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It produces subtle rattling
sound, which is normal. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up
the water tank with water when the water level drops below the minimum level.
Steam boost function
1
Press the steam trigger twice quickly to release a powerful boost of steam for 3 seconds (Fig. 7).
Note: it is recommended to use the steam boost function only for stubborn crease.
Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles
from a garment while someone is wearing it (Fig. 8). Do not apply steam near your or
someone else’s hand.
