Thank you for buying this Philips steam generator.

- The new Philips PerfectCare offers you an innovative

way to iron your garments.We all know the fuss with

traditional irons: choosing the right temperature for your

tough and delicate fabrics, waiting for the iron to warm up

and cool down to avoid the risk of damaging clothes with

a too hot iron. Those hassles are things of the past with

the new Philips PerfectCare.

- In principle, wrinkle removal is done by transferring

heat to fabric. Historically, this was done with a very hot

soleplate.Then steam was added to enhance heat transfer,

thus making ironing much faster. Our research conrmed

that the best way to remove wrinkles effectively is

a perfect combination of intense steam and optimal

soleplate temperature.The key to effective wrinkle

removal is the steam not the soleplate temperature.The

soleplate temperature needs to be just above the steam

temperature to remove any moisture.This is the optimal

temperature.

- In the past, high amount of steam at this optimal

temperature would have led to water leakage.We

developed a unique patented cyclonic chamber to

maintain high-pressure steam that penetrates deep into

the fabric for fast ironing with no risk of water leakage.

- Ironing is now truly simple - no temperature adjustment,

no scorching, no waiting time on heating up and cooling

down. It is faster, no matter who does the ironing.With

this OptimalTemp technology, every single garment can be

ironed effectively and safely.

- This iron has been approved by The Woolmark

Company Pty Ltd for the ironing of wool only products

provided that the garments are ironed according to the

instructions on the garment label and those issued by

the manufacturer of this iron. R1101. In United Kingdom,

Eire, Hong Kong and India, the Woolmark trademark is a

Certication trademark.

the water tank drops below the minimum level or when the

‘water tank empty’ light ashes quickly.

1 Openthellingfunnellid.

2 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the MAX

indication.

ENGLISH 9

Note: Do not ll the water tank beyond the MAX indication to

avoid spillage. If you have overlled the water tank, empty it until

the water level drops below the MAX indication again.

Tip: Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap

water. If you live in an area with very hard water, fast scale

build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to mix 50%

distilled water and 50% tap water to prolong the lifetime of your

appliance. Do not use distilled water only, as it is slightly acidic

and may cause damage to your appliance. Do not put perfume,

vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals

in the water tank, as your appliance is not designed to work with

these chemicals.
