- The red AUTO/OFF light goes out. If the temperature of the
soleplate has dropped below the set ironing temperature, the amber
temperature light goes on.
- If the amber temperature light goes on after you have moved the
iron, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.
- If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the
iron, the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready
for use.
Delicate fabric protector (GC4425 only)
The delicate fabric protector protects delicate fabrics from heat damage
and shiny patches.
With the delicate fabric protector you can iron delicate fabrics (silk, wool
and nylon) at temperature settings 3 to MAX in combination with all
steam functions available on the iron.
The delicate fabric protector reduces the soleplate temperature instantly,
thus allowing you to iron delicate fabrics safely.
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be
visible when you wear or use the article.
1 Put the iron on the delicate fabric protector ('click') (Fig. 15).
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with
metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to
clean the soleplate.
 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after you have rinsed it.
