Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and
save them for future reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to
the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance
itself shows visible damage, or if the appliance has been dropped
or is leaking.
Check the cord regularly for possible damage.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a
service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the
mains.
Never immerse the iron and the stand, if provided, in water.
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may
cause burns if touched.
Do not allow the cord to come into contact with the soleplate
when it is hot.
When you have finished ironing, when you clean the appliance,
when you fill or empty the water tank and also when you leave the
iron even for a short while: set the steam control to position O,
put the iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall
socket.
Always place and use the iron and the stand, if provided, on a
stable, level and horizontal surface.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids
or other chemicals in the water tank.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
Before first use
1 Check if the voltage rating on the typeplate corresponds to the
mains supply in your home.
C
2 Remove any sticker, protective foil or storage cover (Type
GC4043, GC4040, GC4028, GC4025 only) from the soleplate.
3 Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a
piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residue
on the soleplate.
The iron may give out some smoke when using it for the first time.
After a short while this will cease.
