If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an ar ticle is made of, determine the right ironing 

temperature by ironing a par t that is not visible when you wear or use the ar ticle.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.

Star t ironing the ar ticles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of 

synthetic fibres.

 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and set the on/off switch to ‘I’.

,

The steam tank and the soleplate heat up.

,

When the temperature light goes out, the iron has reached the set temperature. As soon as 

the water in the steam tank is ready for steam ironing:

 - GC6450/GC6440: the ‘steam ready’ light goes on.

 - GC6433/GC6430/GC6420/GC6410/GC6406/GC6405: the power-on light in the on/off switch 

goes out.

Note: During steam ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time. This indicates that the iron 

is heating up to the set temperature.
Note: If you have been ironing at a high temperature and then set the temperature dial to a lower 

setting, wait until the temperature light goes on and goes out again before you continue ironing. This 

prevents damage to your fabrics.

tips

 - If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the 

most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if an ar ticle consists of 60% 

polyester and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester ( 

1

) 

and without steam. 

 - When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To prevent this, use a dr y 

pressing cloth or turn the ar ticle inside out and iron the reverse side.

 - Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with 

the nap) while you apply ver y little pressure.

 - Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
