Read these instructions for use carefully before using the

appliance and save them for future reference.

Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate 

corresponds to the local mains voltage before you 

connect the appliance.

If the appliance is provided with an earthed plug, it 

must be plugged into an earthed wall socket.

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

the appliance itself shows visible damage, or if the 

appliance has been dropped or is leaking.

Check the cord regularly for possible damage.

If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced 

by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips 

or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a 

hazard.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is 

connected to the mains.

Never immerse the iron and the stand, if provided, 

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 cord to come into contact with 

the soleplate when it is hot.

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.

Always place and use the iron and the stand, if 

provided, on a stable, level and horizontal surface.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This Philips appliance complies with all standards

regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled 

properly and in accordance with the instructions in this

instruction manual, the appliance is safe to use according

to scientific evidence available today.

Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, 

ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank.

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.
Setting the temperature

  1 

 Put the iron on its heel.

  2 

 Set the required ironing temperature by turning the 

temperature dial to the appropriate position (Fig. 4).

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing

temperature:

1

Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide,

polyester)

1

Silk

2

Wool

3

Cotton, linen

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. 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.

  3 

 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

  4 

 When the temperature light has gone out, wait a 

while before you start ironing (Fig. 5).

The temperature light will go on from time to time

during ironing.

  1 

 Make sure that there is enough water in the water 

tank.

  2 

 Select the recommended ironing temperature (see 

chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the 

temperature’).

  3 

 After the temperature light has gone out, set 

the steam control to the appropriate steam 

position. Make sure that the steam setting you 

select is suitable for the ironing temperature 

selected: (Fig. 6)

l

for moderate steam (temperature settings

2

to

Features
Spray function (specific types only)

You can use the spray function to remove stubborn

creases at any temperature.

  1 

 Make sure that there is enough water in the water 

tank.

  2 

 Press the spray button several times to moisten the 

article to be ironed (Fig. 7).
Steam boost (specific types only)

A powerful shot of steam helps to remove stubborn

creases.

The steam boost function can only be used at

temperature settings between

3

and MAX.

  1 

 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 8).

,

Wait a while before using the button again to avoid

spluttering.
Never direct the steam at people.

  1 

 The steam boost function can also be used when 

you are holding the iron in vertical position. This is 

useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, 

curtains, etc (Fig. 9).

Never direct the steam at people.

The electronic shut-off function automatically switches

the heating element off if the iron has not been moved

for a while.

The auto-off light starts blinking to indicate that the 

iron has been switched off by the safety shut-off 

function (Fig. 10).

In horizontal position, this will happen after 30 

seconds.

In vertical position, this will happen after 8 minutes.

To let the iron heat up again:

Pick up the iron or move it slightly. The auto-off light

goes out.

If the temperature light goes on, wait for it to go out 

before you start ironing.

If the temperature light does not go on, the iron is 

ready for use.
Cleaning and maintenance
After ironing

  1 

 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let 

the iron cool down.

  2 

 Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate 

with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) 

cleaner.

To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard 

contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, 

vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

  3 

 Clean the upper part of the appliance with a damp 

cloth.

  4 

 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty 

the water tank after cleaning.
Double-Active Calc System
GC1830/1820/1730: The anti-calc tablet prevents 

scale from clogging the steam vents. The anti-calc 

tablet is constantly active and does not need 

replacement (Fig. 11).

The Calc-Clean function removes the scale 

particles.

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), the Calc-Clean function

should be used more frequently.

  1 

 Set the steam control to position O.

  2 

 Set the temperature dial to MAX.

  3 

 Fill the water tank to the maximum level. 

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the 

water tank.

  4 

 Put the plug in the wall socket.

  5 

 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has 

gone out.

  6 

 Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam 

control to the Calc-Clean position 

x

.  (Fig. 12)

  7 

 Pull the steam control slightly upwards and gently 

shake the iron until all water in the tank has been 

used up.

Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate.

Scale (if any) will be flushed out.

  8 

 After having used the Calc-Clean function, press 

down the steam control while turning it to position 

O. 

Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water coming out of

the iron still contains scale particles.
