Philips Anti-scale cartridge GC002/00 GC002/00 Manuel D’Utilisation

By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy 

without compromising on the ironing result.

 1 

To activate the ECO mode, press the ECO button. The light in the

ECO button goes on.

 2 

To switch back to the ‘OptimalTemp’ setting, press the ECO button

again. 

For the shortest ironing time, we advise you to use the ‘OptimalTemp’ 

setting. 
Safety auto-off (specific types only)

The safety auto-off function automatically switches off the appliance if it has 

not been used for 5 minutes, to save energy. 

It is very important that you replace the ANTI-CALC cartridge when

the ANTI-CALC cartridge replacement light starts flashing and the

appliance starts beeping.
Note: The cartridge lasts 3 months on average, but this depends on the 

 - The ANTI-CALC replacement light starts flashing and the appliance 

starts beeping to indicate that the ANTI-CALC cartridge needs to be 

replaced. 

 -  You can still continue steam ironing for 15-30 min. (depending on 

the hardness of the water used) when the ANTI-CALC replacement 

light flashes and the appliance beeps. However, the steam output will 

diminish and ultimately the steam generator stops producing steam to 

prevent scale build-up that would permanently damage your appliance. 

 - To let the appliance produce steam again, you have to replace the 

ANTI-CALC cartridge. If you do not want to replace the ANTI-CALC 

cartridge, you have to use demineralised water or descaled water from 

the IronCare. In that case, you need to leave the exhausted cartridge in 

the compartment. 

 1 

 Switch off the appliance and let it cool down.

 2 

Follow the steps in chapter ‘Before first use - Placing the ANTI-

CALC cartridge’.
