Steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures
(temperature settings 2 to MAX).

2 Select a steam setting suitable for the selected ironing
temperature:
- Select steam setting MIN (no steam) for temperature setting 1 (see
'Ironing without steam').
- Select a low to medium steam setting for temperature setting 2.
- Select a medium to MAX steam setting for temperature settings
3 to MAX.
3 The steam tank and the soleplate will now heat up.
- Cold start: the soleplate takes approximately 2 minutes to heat up
and the steam tank takes approximately 8 minutes to heat up.
- Quick reheat: if you refill the steam tank during the ironing process,
the water in the steam tank will take approximately 6 minutes to
heat up.
4 As soon as the water in the steam tank is hot enough for
steam ironing, the steam tank power-on light goes out
(GC6104, GC6103, GC6102 only).The steam-ready light goes
on (GC6107 only).
During steam ironing the steam-ready light goes on from time to
time.This indicates that the steam tank is being heated up to the
right temperature.

5 Keep the steam activator pressed in while you are steam
ironing.
If you want to use the steam function continuously, slide the
steam activator lock to the locking position.
6 To stop steaming, release the steam activator lock.
If you have not used the steam function for some time, the steam that
was still present in the supply hose will have condensed into water.
When you start steam ironing again, this may cause some spluttering in
the appliance and a few droplets of water may escape from the
soleplate.
To prevent droplets from falling onto your garments, hold the iron over an
B
old cloth and press the steam activator until the steam production has
normalised before you start steam ironing again.
