Frequently Asked Questions - PerfectCare Compact Plus GC7929 PHILIPS

What type of water to use with the Philips PerfectCare Compact Plus GC7929 iron?

The appliance is designed for tap water. In very hard water areas, use distilled or demineralized water (or a 50/50 mixture). Never use scented water, vinegar, starch, or chemical descaling agents.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Possible causes: empty water tank, steam trigger not pressed long enough (wait up to 30 seconds), or the descaling procedure has not been performed. If the Calc-Clean light flashes, perform the descaling procedure to restore steam.

How to activate the Max steam mode?

Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds. The light turns white. To deactivate, repeat the same operation until the light turns blue again.

What to do if water leaks from the soleplate?

After a Calc-Clean treatment, wipe the soleplate. If the problem persists, perform descaling again. Avoid using the steam boost function more than 5 times in 3 minutes. Also check if condensation in the hose is not the cause: move the iron away from the garment and press the trigger until steam comes out.

How to perform descaling (Calc-Clean)?

Fill the water tank halfway. Place the anti-scale container on a flat surface and put the iron on it. Press and hold the Calc-Clean button for 2 seconds until beeps. Let the appliance finish (~2 min). Empty the anti-scale container after cooling.

Can I iron clothes in vertical position?

Yes, hold the iron vertically, press the steam trigger and brush the hanging garment. Caution: steam is hot, never apply it to a person.

Can the iron damage my ironing board?

Thanks to OptimalTEMP technology, you can place the iron directly on the board without risk. You can also use the safety support provided.

How to store the appliance after use?

Turn off and unplug. Empty the water tank. Lock the iron on its support. Store the steam hose and power cord in their compartments. You can carry the whole unit by the iron handle.

What does the flashing Calc-Clean light with beeps mean?

It is a reminder to perform descaling. If you do not perform it, the steam function will be disabled. Perform the Calc-Clean procedure to restore steam.

Is it normal for the pump to make noise?

Yes, a slight clicking is normal when activating steam. The noise is louder if the tank is empty. Make sure you have enough water.

Preparing for use

Type of water to use

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water (50% demineralized/distilled water mixed with water could be used as well) to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.

Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.

Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use or when the water level in the water tank drops below the minimum level. You can refill the water tank at any time during use.

1 Press the lever in the water tank handle and remove the water tank from the base (Fig. 2).
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 3).
3 Push the water tank back into the appliance until it locks in place ('click').

Using the appliance

Ironable fabrics

Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

• Fabrics with these symbols (Fig. 4) are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.
• Fabrics with this symbol (Fig. 5) are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolefins (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on garments are not ironable either.

Ironing

1 Place the appliance on a stable and even surface.

Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing board, a table, or the floor.

2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

3 Remove the water supply hose from the storage compartment.

4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off button to switch on the appliance (Fig. 6). Wait until the 'iron ready' light lights up continuously (Fig. 7). This takes about 2 minutes.

5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform (Fig. 8).

6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 9).

Note: When you start your ironing session and especially during the first usage of steam trigger, it may take more than 30 seconds for steam to come out of the appliance.

Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It produces subtle rattling sound. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder.

7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.

Note: If you do not release the trigger early enough and lift the iron to the base, you might notice that steam still comes out, which is normal. To avoid that effect, we recommend you to leave the iron on the board while rearranging the garment.

Warning: Never direct steam at people.

MAX mode function

For more powerful steam, you can use the MAX steam mode, which is safe on all ironable fabrics. For fabrics such as cotton, jeans and linen, you are recommended to use the MAX steam mode.

1 Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds until the light turns white.

2 To deactivate the MAX mode, press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds again until the light turns blue.

Steam boost function

1 Press the steam trigger twice quickly to release a powerful boost of steam for 3 seconds (Fig. 10).

Note: It is recommended to use the steam boost function only for stubborn crease.

Vertical ironing

Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment while someone is wearing it (Fig. 11). Do not apply steam near your or someone else's hand.

You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.

1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the soleplate and move the iron up and down (Fig. 12).

Safe rest

Resting the iron while rearranging your garment

While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the ironing board (Fig. 13). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.

Auto shut-off

• The appliances enters the standby mode if it has not been used for 5 minutes. The light of the on/off button starts to flash.
• To activate the appliance again, press the on/off button or the steam trigger. The appliance starts to heat up again.

8 English

- The appliance switches off automatically if it has not been used for another 10 minutes after it enters the standby mode. The light in the on/off button goes off.

Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Always unplug the appliance after use.

Cleaning and maintenance

Smart Calc-Clean System

Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the appliance gives regular reminders.

Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder

After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping to indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 14).

Besides that, a second defense step to protect the appliance from scale is integrated: the steam function gets disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 15). After descaling is done, the steam function will be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.

Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder is not activated yet.

Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container

Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.

Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. Do not interrupt the process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come out of the soleplate.

1 Fill up the water tank halfway. Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.

2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface.

3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 16).

4 Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 17).

Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire process.

5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 18).

6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 19). When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops flashing.

7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 20).

Caution: The iron is hot.

8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait about 5 minutes before you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future use (Fig. 21).

9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the Calc-Clean container before you start the Calc-Clean process.

Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the soleplate if no scale has accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.

For more information on how to carry out the Calc-Clean process, refer to the videos in this link: http://www.philips.com/descaling-iron.

Storage

1 Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

Note: it is recommended to empty the water tank after every use.

2 Place the iron on the iron platform and lock it by pushing the carry lock release button (Fig. 22).
3 Fold the supply hose and wind the supply hose inside the supply hose storage compartment (Fig. 23).
4 Fold the mains cord and fasten it with the Velcro strip.
5 You can carry the appliance with one hand by the handle of the iron when the iron is locked on the iron platform.
