What is the difference between this model and the previous PerfectCare model GC8941?
The primary difference between these two models is that the newer model, GC8943, has an integrated water tank and heater. This allows for more convenient operation as you no longer need to refill a separate water tank before each use. Additionally, the GC8943 has an updated design with a sleeker look and improved user interface.
How do I properly descale the water tank on my Philips PerfectCare Expert Plus GC8942 steam iron?
Descaling the water tank on your Philips PerfectCare Expert Plus GC8942 steam iron is an essential step to maintain its performance and longevity. Over time, minerals from hard water can accumulate inside the water tank, causing limescale build-up that affects ironing efficiency and may even lead to permanent damage to your iron. Here's how you can descale the water tank:
1. Fill the water tank halfway with distilled water or water with a low mineral content. Do not use tap water as it contains high levels of minerals that accelerate limescale buildup. Place the iron on a stable, heat-resistant surface and plug it in. Turn the steam selector switch to MAX Steam. Press and hold the 'WR' button for three seconds until the display shows "DESCALE". Release the button. The iron will begin heating up automatically. Once it reaches the desired temperature, you'll see a green light on the "DESCALE" indicator. Start steaming by pressing and holding the steam trigger continuously. Keep steaming for around 10-12 minutes, making sure that all the water in the tank is used up. You'll notice that the iron emits a strong odor during this process as the limescale is being removed. Once you have finished descaling, press and hold the 'WR' button for three seconds until the display shows "STAND BY". Release the button. The iron will automatically enter standby mode after five minutes of inactivity. Empty any remaining water from the tank by pressing the steam trigger and allowing it to drain. Clean the water tank with a soft brush or cloth to remove any leftover limescale residue. Rinse the water tank thoroughly with distilled water or water with low mineral content. Fill the tank halfway with fresh water and repeat steps 5-8 to rinse the iron completely. Unplug the iron and let it cool down before storing it in a safe place. It's recommended that you descale your Philips PerfectCare Expert Plus GC8942 steam iron at least once every three months if you use hard water frequently or experience reduced performance. By following these steps, you can ensure that your iron continues to function optimally and lasts longer.
