For optimal safety, read these instructions carefully and look at the illustrations before
you start using the appliance.
Keep these instructions for future reference.
◗Never leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the mains.
◗This appliance is not intended for use by children.
◗Keep an eye on children to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.
◗The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if
touched.
◗Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.
◗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.
◗If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special Philips or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
◗Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
Before first useIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
1Remove sticker or protective foil from the soleplate if there is any.
2Heat up the iron to the maximum temperature and pass the iron over a piece
of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residues from the soleplate.
The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This will cease
after a short while.
Filling the water tankIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Never immerse the iron in water.
1Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
2Set the steam control to position O (= no steam) (fig. 2).
3Press and hold the release button and remove the detachable water tank
(fig. 3).
4Fill the water tank with cold tap water up to the maximum level (fig. 4).
Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
Only use water. Do not use vinegar, starch, ironing concentrates or chemically
descaled water.
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal
amount of distilled water or to use distilled water only.
5Push the water tank back into the iron until you hear a ‘click’.
Setting the temperatureIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
1Put the iron on its heel.
2Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature:
1Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester)
1Silk
2Wool
3Cotton, linen
If you do not know what kind of fabric(s) a garment is made of, determine the right
ironing temperature by ironing a part that will be invisible when you wear the
garment.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent
shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those
made of synthetic fibres.
3Set the temperature control dial to the required ironing temperature by
turning it to the appropriate temperature indication (fig. 5).
4Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
5When the temperature pilot light has gone out, wait a while before you start
ironing (fig. 6).
The pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.

(fig. 8).
Extra Steam (type GC1580)
This function provides extra steam to remove very stubborn creases.
◗The Extra Steam function only works at temperature settings between 3
and MAX.

2Press and hold the steam control dial for maximal 5 seconds (fig. 10).
3Release the steam control dial and wait at least 1 minute before using this

Shot of steam (type GC1575)
A powerful shot of steam helps to remove stubborn creases.
Use the Shot-of-Steam function only at temperature settings between 3and
MAX.
1Press and release the Shot of steam button (fig. 11).
Wait for while before using the button again to avoid spluttering.
Never direct the steam towards people.
ASO - Auto shut off (type GC1580)
An electronic safety device will automatically switch off the iron if it has not been
removed for a while.
To indicate that the iron has been switched-off, the red auto-off pilot light will start
blinking (fig. 12).
- In a horizontal position, this will happen after 30 seconds.
- In a vertical position, this will happen after 8 minutes.
To heat up the iron again:
- Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
- The red auto-off pilot light will go out. The amber temperature pilot light will go
on.
- When the amber pilot light has gone out and goes on again, the iron is ready for

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very
hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), you should use the
Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1Set the steam control dial to position O.
2Set the temperature control dial to MAX.
3Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
4Put the plug in the wall socket.
5Unplug the iron when the temperature pilot light has gone out.
6Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to the Calc-Clean
position •(fig. 13).

water in the tank has been used up.
Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate, flushing out impurities and
scale.
8Press the steam control dial back to its original position and set it to position
O after having used the Calc-Clean function.
9Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
10 To clean the steam control needle, pull the steam control out of the
appliance (fig. 14). Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (fig.
15).
Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.
11Reinsert the steam control needle by placing the point of the needle exactly
in the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side of the
needle into the slot (fig. 16).
12Set the steam control to position O.
After the Calc-Clean process
1Connect the iron to the mains to let the soleplate dry.
2Unplug the iron when the pilot light has gone out.
3Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains
that may have formed on the soleplate.
4Let the iron cool down before you store it.
Cleaning after ironing
1Make sure the plug has been removed from the wall socket and the iron has
cooled down.
2Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a
non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.
3Clean the upper part of the appliance with a damp cloth.
4Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after
cleaning.
