Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit

from the support that Philips offers, register your product at

www.philips.com/welcome.

Read this user manual, the important information leaflet, and the quick start

guide carefully before you use the appliance. Save them for future

reference.

Exclusive technology from Philips

OptimalTemp technology

The OptimalTemp technology enables you to iron all types of ironable

fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron temperature and without

sorting your garments.

It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board without

putting back to the iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your

wrist.

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. R. In the United Kingdom, Eire, Hong Kong

and India, the Woolmark trademark is a certification trademark.

Compact ProVelocity Technology

This technology delivers continuous steam that penetrates deeply to

remove creases easily. At the same time, it keeps the appliance more

compact and lighter than traditional steam generators, for easier storage.

Preparing for use

Type of water to use

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if

you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur.

Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to

prolong the lifetime of the appliance.

Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble

dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically

descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water

spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.

Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use or when the water level in the water

tank drops below the minimum level. You can refill the water tank at any

time during use.

Remove the water tank from the base.

Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication.



English

Put the water tank back into the appliance by fitting the bottom part into

the appliance first.

Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place 'click'.

Using the appliance

Ironable fabrics

Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton,

polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.

Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic

fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolefins

e.g. polypropylene. Prints on garments are not ironable either.

Ironing

Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.

Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the

base on a stable ironing board.

Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

English

Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off button

to switch on the steam generator. Wait until the 'iron ready' light lights up

continuously. This takes approx.  minutes.

Remove the water supply hose from the water supply hose storage

compartment.

Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron

platform.

Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing.

Warning: Never direct steam at people.

For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes

without steam.

Note: When you use the appliance for the first time, it may take  seconds

for steam to come out of the appliance.

Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It

produces subtle rattling sound, which is normal. When there is no water in

the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up the water tank with water

when the water level drops below the minimum level.

For more powerful steam, you can use the TURBO steam mode, which is

safe on all ironable fabrics.

For fabrics such as cotton, jeans and linen, you are recommended to use the

TURBO steam mode.

Press and hold the on/off button for  seconds until the light turns white.

To deactivate the TURBO mode, press and hold the on/off button for 

seconds again until the light turns blue.

Steam boost function

Use the steam boost function to remove stubborn creases.



English

Press the steam trigger twice quickly.

Vertical ironing

Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to

remove wrinkles from a garment while someone is wearing it. Do

not apply steam near your or someone else's hand.

You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from

hanging fabrics.

Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the

garment lightly with the soleplate and move the iron up and down.

Safe rest

Resting the iron while rearranging your garment

While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron

platform or horizontally on the ironing board. The OptimalTemp technology

ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.
