Operating Instructions

Selecting Temperature and Steam Settings

Ironing with Steam

1. Ensure the water tank is filled and the iron is heated.
2. Place the garment on the ironing board.
3. Press the steam trigger under the handle to release a continuous burst of steam. For an extra powerful steam boost, press the boost button (if available).
4. Move the iron smoothly over the fabric.
5. For vertical steaming, hold the iron a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam trigger.

After Use

2. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
3. Allow the iron to cool down completely before storing.
4. Empty the water tank if you will not be using the iron for an extended period.
5. Secure the iron to its base using the lock system (if available) and wrap the steam hose and power cord for storage.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning the Soleplate

• Always ensure the iron is cool and unplugged before cleaning.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads.
• If starch or synthetic fibers have melted onto the soleplate, use a specialized soleplate cleaning stick while the iron is slightly warm (follow product instructions).

Descaling (Calc Collector)

Your Pro Express Ultimate II GV9712C0 is equipped with a removable calc collector to prevent limescale buildup and maintain steam performance. A light indicator will typically alert you when it's time to clean the collector.

1. Ensure the appliance is completely cool and unplugged.
2. Locate the calc collector on the side of the steam generator base (often orange or red).
3. Turn the collector anti-clockwise to unlock and pull it out.
4. Rinse the collector thoroughly under running water to remove limescale particles.
5. Insert the collector back into its housing and turn clockwise to lock it securely.
