Philips GC6320 [10/136] After ironing

3 Iron without pressing the steam activator.

If you press the steam activator by accident while you iron, some steam will escape. To avoid

this, set the steam tank switch to ‘off’ to cut off the steam supply completely.

If the steam tank is empty or has not heated up yet, you hear a clicking sound inside the tank.

This phenomenon is caused by the opening of the steam valve and is perfectly harmless.
