Philips GC 4510/30 [5/26] Cleaning and maintenance

ENGLISH

Steam setting

- Auto steam: The iron automatically adjusts the steam output according to the selected temperature

to provide the best ironing result.

- ECO: This steam setting enables you to reduce the steam output to save energy and still have

sufﬁcient steam to iron your garments.

- Dry: This steam setting enables you to iron without steam or to stop steam when the iron is not in

use.

- Iron with extra steam: Press and hold the steam boost trigger to get more steam to remove

stubborn creases.

Steam boost function and vertical steaming

- Press and release the steam boost trigger for a powerful boost steam. This can be used to remove

targeted stubborn creases or creases from a hanged garment.

Note: The steam boost function should only be used at temperature setting between ●●● to MAX. Leaking

may appear if you use steam boost at too low a temperature.

Hot steam comes out of the iron. Do not remove wrinkles from a garment while some one is wearing

it. To prevent burns, do not direct the steam at people.

Safety auto-off (specic types only)

The safety auto-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been used for 30 seconds

resting on its soleplate or 8 minutes resting on its backplate. The auto-off light will light up.

- To let the iron heat up again, pick up the iron or move it slightly. The auto-off light goes out.

Cleaning and maintenance

For gures, refer to the fold-out at the back of the user manual.

Cleaning

1 Unplug the iron and let it cool down.

2 Pour any remaining water out of the water tank from the water lling door.

3 Wipe akes and any other deposit off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid)

cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad,

vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

Quick Calc Release

IMPORTANT: To prolong the life time of your appliance and to maintain good steaming performance, use

Quick Calc Release function once every 1 month. If water in your area is very hard, use this function more

frequently.

Note: Make sure that the iron has been unplugged for at least 1 hour and has completely cooled down, before

you use Quick Calc Release.

1 Put the iron on a levelled surface and push up the Quick Calc Release lock at the back of the iron

(Fig. 15).
