Introduction

Thank you for buying the Philips GC8280. Please read these instructions for

use, as they contain information about the surprising features of this ironing

system and some tips to make ironing easier and more enjoyable.

The Philips GC8280 is a powerful pressurised ironing system that produces

non-stop steam to make ironing easier. Thanks to the large water tank

you can iron without interruption. When the water tank is empty you can

detach it and rell it immediately.

The Philips GC8280 is equipped with a sophisticated display that gives you

more control over the ironing process. It gives feedback on the selected

temperature setting and has precise pre-programmed temperature settings

for 12 different fabrics. It also informs you about the steam setting and the

water level and warns you when the iron needs to be rinsed. The iron is

very safe thanks to the automatic iron-off function. Last but not least, it is

the only ironing system on the market with an integrated drip stop.

We hope you will enjoy using the Philips GC8280.

,

ENGLISH

Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord, the supply hose or

the appliance itself shows visible damage, or if the appliance has been

dropped or is leaking.

Check the cord and the supply hose regularly for possible damage.

If the mains cord or the supply hose is damaged, it must be replaced

by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied

persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the

mains.

Never immerse the iron or the steam tank in water.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance.

The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause

burns if touched.

Do not allow the mains cord and supply hose to come into contact

with the soleplate when it is hot.

When you have nished ironing, when you clean the appliance, when

you ll or empty the water tank and also when you leave the iron

even for a short while: put the iron on the stand, switch the appliance

off and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

Always place and use the iron and the steam tank on a stable, level

and horizontal surface. Do not put the steam tank on the soft part of

the ironing board.

Clean rinsing cap. If steam continues to escape when the appliance

is heating up, switch the appliance off and contact a service centre

authorised by Philips.

Do not use any other cap on the steam tank than the cap that has

been supplied with the appliance, as this cap also functions as a safety

valve.

Rinse the steam tank regularly according to the instructions in the

chapter ‘Cleaning’.

Never remove the Calc-Clean rinsing cap when the steam tank is

hot.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

Preparing for use

1

Place the steam tank on a stable and level surface, i.e. on the hard

part of the ironing board or on a table.

Filling the detachable water tank

The water tank can be relled at any time during use.

Do not put hot water, perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing

aids or other chemicals in the water tank.

Do not overll the water tank, otherwise water may spill out of the

lling opening when you reinsert the water tank.

,

ENGLISH8

Setting the temperature

1 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off

button once.

The power-on light goes on.

The display lights up and you will hear a short beep. The following

message moves across the display:

’WELCOME TO PHILIPS - CHECKING SENSORS - CHECKING WATER

- WARMING UP’.

The steam light on the steam tank starts blinking.

After approx. 2 minutes the steam light stays on continuously to indicate

that the steam tank is ready for steam ironing.

When you switch the appliance on, it will automatically heat up to

the last used temperature setting.

2 Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature.

3 Press the temperature button + or - (hotter or colder) to set the

required ironing temperature or fabric type.

The display shows the fabric type for which the selectedtemperature

setting is most suitable (see chapter ‘Iron display guide’).

The display indicates that the iron is heating up or cooling down to

the selected temperature.

A double beep and a message on the display indicate that the soleplate has

reached the selected temperature.

Tips

If the article consists of various kind of bres, always select the

temperature required by the most delicate bre, i.e. the lowest

temperature. If, for example, the fabric consists of 60% polyester and

40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for

polyester (2).

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,

determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not

be visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric

to prevent shiny patches.

Fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be ironed in one

direction only (along with the nap) while applying very little pressure.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

i.e. those made of synthetic materials.

To make the iron cool down faster, simply apply steam or iron a

piece of cloth.

During ironing you can adjust the steam setting by means of the +

and - steam buttons.

It will take a few moments before the amount of steam is adjusted.

5 Press the steam activator to start steam ironing.

When you put the iron down during ironing, put it on its heel or on the

iron stand.

The opening and closing of the steam valve in the steam tank will

cause a clicking sound. This is perfectly normal.

Steam lock function

The steam lock allows you to steam iron non-stop without having to press

the steam activator continuously.

When the steam lock function has been set to ‘on’ (the default

setting in the display menu), the iron starts steaming continuously

when the steam activator is pressed once. To stop steaming, press

the steam activator once again.

When the steam lock function has been set to ‘off’ (see section

‘Display menu’), the iron will only produce steam when the steam

activator is pressed.

Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron

stand. This prevents hot steam from escaping from the iron or from wetting

the iron stand.

Ironing without steam

There are two ways to iron without steam:

1 You can simply start ironing without pressing the steam activator.

2 You can also select steam setting a (no steam) and start ironing.

Features

Vertical steaming

Never direct the steam at people.

You can steam iron hanging curtains and clothes (jackets, suits,

coats) by holding the iron in vertical position and pressing the steam

activator.

Iron-off function

The iron-off function automatically switches the soleplate off when the

steam activator has not been pressed for a particular number of minutes,

depending on the iron-off time you have selected.

You can select an iron-off time of 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes (see section

‘Display menu’).

1 The display will show the text ‘IRON OFF’ and you will hear an

intermittent beep.

,

ENGLISH 11

2 If you want to start ironing again, press any button on the iron. The

soleplate will then start heating up again.

Note: the iron-off function switches the soleplate off but does not switch the

steam tank off. If you intend to stop ironing, you should switch the appliance

off and unplug the steam tank.

ERROR 01

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter

with your iron. Please read the different sections for more details. If you

are unable to solve the problem, please contact the Philips Customer Care

Centre in your country.

Problem Cause Solution

The appliance does

not become hot.

There is a connection problem. Check the mains cord, the plug and

the wall socket.

The appliance has not been switched on. Press the on/off button.

The selected temperature is too low. Select a higher temperature.

Smoke comes out

of my new iron

when I switch it on.

Some parts of the appliance have been

lightly greased in the factory and may

initially give off some smoke when heated.

This phenomenon is perfectly

normal and will cease after a short

while.

The iron does not

produce any steam.

There is not enough water in the water

tank.

Fill the water tank (see ‘Preparing

for use’, section ‘Filling the

detachable water tank’).

The steam tank has not heated up

sufciently.

Wait for approx. 2 minutes until the

steam light stays on continuously).

The selected ironing temperature is too

low for steam ironing.

Select a temperature of 2 or

higher.

ENGLISH16

Problem Cause Solution

Steam setting a (no steam) has been

selected.

Select steam setting ] (minimum

steam), [ (moderate steam) or p

(maximum steam).

The water tank has not been placed

properly in the steam tank.

Place the water tank properly in the

steam tank (‘click’).

When the iron has been set to a very high

temperature, the steam produced is dry

and hardly visible. It will be even less visible

when the ambient temperature is relatively

high and it will be entirely invisible when

the temperature has been set to MAX.

Set the iron to a lower temperature,

e.g. 2, to check if the iron is

actually producing steam.

Water droplets

come out of the

soleplate.

When you start steam ironing and when

you have stopped steam ironing for a

while, the steam that was still present in

the supply hose will have cooled down

and condensed into water, which causes

water droplets to come out of the

soleplate.

This is perfectly normal. Hold the

iron over an old cloth and press

the steam activator when you start

ironing (again). Wait until steam

instead of water comes out of the

soleplate.

Flakes and impurities

come out of the

soleplate or the

soleplate is dirty.

Impurities or chemicals present in the

water have deposited in the steam vents

and/or on the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a damp

cloth.

’ERROR’ has

appeared on the

display and the iron

beeps continuously.

A sensor failure has been detected. Contact an authorised Philips

service centre.

The appliance

produces a pumping

sound.

Water is being pumped into the steam

tank.

This is normal.

The pumping sound does not stop. Unplug the iron immediately and

contact an authorised Philips service

centre.

Dirty water comes

out of the soleplate.

Too much scale and minerals have

accumulated inside the steam tank.

Rinse the steam tank. See chapter

‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

The iron produces

steam continuously.

The steam lock has been set to ‘on’. Press the steam activator again to

stop steaming. Set the steam lock

to ‘off ’ if you only want to obtain

steam when pressing the steam

activator (see section ‘Steam lock

function’).

ENGLISH 17

Problem Cause Solution

Steam escapes from

under the Calc-

Clean rinsing cap

when the appliance

is heating up.

The Calc-clean rinsing cap has not been

tightened properly.

Switch the appliance off, tighten the

Calc-Clean rinsing cap and switch

the appliance on again. If steam

continues to escape when the

appliance is heating up, switch the

appliance off and contact a service

centre authorised by Philips.

The iron does not

produce enough

steam/the amount

of steam decreases

and increases during

steam ironing.

When the appliance pumps water into

the boiler, the steam amount sometimes

decreases. This is probably when you think

that the iron does not produce enough

steam. However, this is a completely

normal phenomenon and the steam

output normalises within a few seconds.

To optimise the steam output,

release the steam lock when you do

not need steam and when you put

the iron down.

Wet spots appear

on the garment

during ironing.

The wet spots that appear on your

garment after you have steam ironed for

some time may be caused by steam that

has condensed onto the ironing board.

Iron the wet spots without steam for

some time to dry them. If the underside

of the ironing board is wet, wipe it with a

piece of dry cloth.

To prevent steam from condensing

onto the ironing board, use an

ironing board with a wire mesh top.
