tips

If you have ironed at a high temperature and then set the temperature dial to a lower setting, 

wait until the temperature light goes on again before you continue ironing. This prevents damage 

to your fabrics.

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

synthetic fibres.

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

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.

Steam ironing

Never direct the steam at people.

Steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures (temperature settings  

2

 to MaX). 

  1 

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

 Select an ironing temperature between  

2

 and MAX.  (Fig. 6)

 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and set the on/off switch to on (GC7320/

GC7220) or press the on/off button (GC7330/GC7240/GC7230) (Fig. 7).

The power-on light on the steam tank and the iron temperature light go on to indicate that 

the steam tank and the iron start to heat up.

GC7330/GC7240/GC7230: The high steam setting light flashes to indicate that the steam 

tank is heating up. 

After approx.  minutes, the steam light stays on continuously, to indicate that the water in 

the steam tank is hot enough for steam ironing.

 GC7330/GC7240/GC7230: Press the steam setting selector to set a steam setting suitable 

for the selected ironing temperature:  (Fig. 8)

Select the low steam setting for temperature setting 

2

. 

Select the low or high steam setting for temperature settings 

3

 to MAX. 

  5 

 Keep the steam activator pressed in while you steam iron.  (Fig. 9)

When you put the iron down after ironing, put it on its heel or on the iron stand.

If you want to use the steam function continuously, slide the steam activator lock to the locking 

position. To stop steaming, release the steam activator lock (Fig. 10).

Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron stand. This makes the 

water in the water tank last longer.

Note: 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 to steam iron again, this can cause some 

spluttering in the appliance and some water droplets to escape from the soleplate.
