PHILIPS GC1011/01 Steam Iron
Philips Steam Iron
The Philips Steam Iron is a household appliance that is used for ironing clothes. Over time, the appliance can build up scale due to the impurities in the water. Descaling is necessary to prevent brown stains, brown water, and leaking. Regular cleaning keeps steam output at its highest and extends the lifetime of the appliance.
Why is descaling needed?
Over time, your appliance can build up scale. The harder the water in your area, the faster scale impurities develop and solidify. Descaling your Philips Steam Iron every 1-2 months can prevent brown stains, brown water, and leaking. Regular cleaning keeps steam output at its highest and extends the lifetime of your appliance.
Self Clean function
The Self Clean function is a feature that applies to all Philips steam irons. Follow the instructions below to use the Self Clean function:
- Fill the water tank and turn on the iron. If your iron has adjustable settings, choose MAX TEMP and NO STEAM.
- When the light goes out, unplug, and hold the iron over the sink so the soleplate is horizontal.
- Activate CALC CLEAN using the button or selector. (Varies per model. Press and hold, if necessary.)
- Shake the iron gently back and forth until empty. Water, steam, and scale will come out of the steam vents.
- Heat the iron and glide over a cloth to clean the soleplate. Repeat the process, if necessary.
- Repeat this whole process once a month, or more if necessary.
By following these instructions, you can keep your Philips Steam Iron in good condition and prevent any issues caused by scale buildup.
