[. . . ] Always place and use the iron on a stable, level and horizontal surface. Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank. This appliance is intended for household use only. Drip stop (GC2652/GC2650/GC2560/ GC2522 only) This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. Automatic shut-off function (GC2560 only) The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a while. 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 is not visible when you wear or use the article. Note:The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. Note: If the temperature light does not go on after you move the iron, the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use. If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today. Note:The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it has reached the set temperature.
