Frequently Asked Questions - EasyCare GC3591 PHILIPS

How do I descale my Philips EasyCare GC3591 iron?

To descale, use the Double Active Anti-Calc system. Fill the water tank to the MAX mark with a mixture of 50% white vinegar and 50% water. Heat the iron, then use the steam function several times. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then empty and rinse with clean water.

What soleplate does the GC3591 have?

It uses a SteamGlide Plus soleplate, which provides smooth gliding and durability.

Does the iron have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, it automatically switches off if left unattended: after 30 seconds on its soleplate or 8 minutes on its heel.

Can I use the iron vertically for steaming curtains?

Yes, the vertical steam function allows you to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics like curtains.

What is the water tank capacity?

The tank holds up to 300 ml of water, sufficient for several garments.

How to prevent water spots on clothes?

The iron has an anti-drip system that prevents water leakage at low temperatures. Ensure the tank is not overfilled and use distilled water if needed.

What type of water should I use?

It is recommended to use tap water. However, if your water is very hard, mix it with distilled water to reduce scale buildup.

How to clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a special soleplate cleaning pen.

Is the iron suitable for delicate fabrics?

Yes, it has adjustable temperature settings from low (synthetics) to high (cotton/linen). Use low heat for delicate items.

Where can I find spare parts?

Authorized Philips service centers or online retailers. Common parts include soleplates, water tanks, and buttons.

Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank.

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 3).
3 Open the cap of the filling opening.
4 Tilt the iron backwards and use the filling cup to fill the water tank with tap water up to the maximum level. (Fig. 4)
Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.

5 Close the cap of the filling opening ('click').

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.
2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate position (Fig. 5).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
- ● for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- ● for silk
- ●● for wool
- ●●● for cotton and 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 is not visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

ENGLISH 9

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

The amber temperature light goes on (Fig. 6).

4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start ironing.

The temperature light goes on from time to time during ironing.

Using the appliance

Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This stops after a short while.

Steam ironing

1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature').
3 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting is suitable for the set ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)

- 1 - 2 for moderate steam (temperature settings ●● to ●●●)

- 3 - 4 for maximum steam (temperature settings ●●● to MAX)

Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it has reached the set temperature.

Note: If the selected ironing temperature is too low (MIN to ●●), water may drip from the soleplate (see chapter ‘Features’, section ‘Drip stop’).

Ironing without steam

1 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 3).
2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature').

ENGLISH10

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the article to be ironed. This helps remove stubborn creases.

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. 8).

Steam boost

A powerful steam boost helps to remove very stubborn creases. The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings between ●● and MAX.

1 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 9).

Concentrated steam boost from the special Steam Tip (specific types only)

The concentrated steam boost from the long vents in the Steam Tip enhances the distribution of steam into every part of your garment. The concentrated steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings between ●● and MAX.

1 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 9).

Vertical steam boost

You can also use the steam boost function when you hold the iron in vertical position. This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 10).

Never direct the steam at people.

ENGLISH 11

Drip stop (specific types 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. When this happens you may hear a sound.

Automatic shut-off function (specific types only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

The red auto-off indication of the temperature light flashes to indicate that the iron has been switched off by the automatic shut-off function (Fig. 6).

To let the iron heat up again:

1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly

The red auto-off indication goes out.

If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped below the set ironing temperature, the amber temperature light goes on.

2 If the amber temperature light goes on after you have moved the iron, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.

Note: If the amber 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down.
2 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, 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 iron with a damp cloth.

ENGLISH12

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it (Fig. 11).

Double-Active Calc System (specific types only)

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.

1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced (Fig. 12).

2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.

Calc-Clean function

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), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

2 Set the steam control to position 0.

3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

4 Set the temperature dial to MAX.

5 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

7 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the Calc-Clean button (1) and gently shake the iron to and fro (2) (Fig. 13).

▶Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed out.

8 Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up.

9 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

ENGLISH 13

After the Calc-Clean process

1 Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.
2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.

Storage

1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down.
2 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (Fig. 14).
3 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place.
