pumping sound. This is normal; the sound tells you that water is being pumped
into the steam tank.

Filling the detachable water tank
The water tank can be refilled at any time during use.
Do not put hot water, perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing
aids or other chemicals in the water tank.
Do not overfill the water tank, otherwise water may spill out of the
filling opening when you reinsert the water tank.

Remove the detachable water tank from the steam tank.
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an
equal amount of distilled water.
2
Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication.
Slide the water tank firmly back into the steam tank (‘click’).
If the water tank is not properly placed, the iron does not produce any
steam.
Water tank refill light
When the water tank is empty, the water tank refill light starts
blinking (GC8261/GC8260/GC8220 only) and steam ironing is no
longer possible.
Refill the water tank. The iron starts steaming again as soon as the
water tank has been properly reinserted into the steam tank.
