Steam Boost Function; Vertical Ironing; Auto Shut-Off - Philips GC7900-Serie Bedienungsanleitung

Ironing
1 Place the appliance on a stable and even surface.
Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing
board, a table, or the floor.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3 Remove the water supply hose from the storage compartment.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 6). Wait until the 'iron ready' light lights up continuously (Fig. 7). This takes about
2 minutes.
5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform (Fig. 8).
6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 9).
Note: When you start your ironing session and especially during the first usage of steam trigger, it
may take more than 30 seconds for steam to come out of the appliance.
Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It produces subtle rattling
sound. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder.
7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.
Note: If you do not release the trigger early enough and lift the iron to the base, you might notice
that steam still comes out, which is normal. To avoid that effect, we recommand you to leave the
iron on the board while rearranging the garment.
Warning: Never direct steam at people.
MAX mode function
For more powerful steam, you can use the MAX steam mode, which is safe on all ironable fabrics.
For fabrics such as cotton, jeans and linen, you are recommended to use the MAX steam mode.
1 Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds until the light turns white.
2 To deactivate the MAX mode, press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds again until the light
turns blue.

Steam boost function

1 Press the steam trigger twice quickly to release a powerful boost of steam for 3 seconds (Fig. 10).
Note: It is recommended to use the steam boost function only for stubborn crease.

Vertical ironing

Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment
while someone is wearing it (Fig. 11). Do not apply steam near your or someone else's hand.
You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the
soleplate and move the iron up and down (Fig. 12).
Safe rest
Resting the iron while rearranging your garment
While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the
ironing board (Fig. 13). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing
board cover.
