Important

•Please read these instructions for use carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before

using the appliance.

•Never use the appliance if damaged in any way. Regularly check if the mains cord and the

supply hose are still in a good and safe condition.

If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by Philips or their

service representative, as special tools and/or parts are required.

•Check if the voltage rating on the typeplate (under the steam tank) corresponds to the mains

voltage in your home.

•Only connect the appliance to an earthed mains wall socket.

•Never immerse the iron or the steam tank in water.

•Never fill the water tank with perfumes, vinegar, descaling agents or other chemicals.

•Take care that children cannot touch the iron when hot and that they cannot pull the mains

cord or supply hose.

•When leaving the iron, even for a short while, always remove the mains plug from the wall

socket and place the iron on the stand.

•Always place the steam tank on a stable flat and horizontal surface. Do not place the steam

tank on the soft part of the ironing board.

•Always place the iron on the iron stand. Do not place the hot iron on the steam tank, the

supply hose or the mains cord. The cordset should not be allowed to touch the soleplate

when it is hot.

•The appliance is equipped with an electric pump. This pump can be heard from time to time

when automatically refilling the boiler system. This is quite normal.

•The iron stand can become hot during use. If you want to move it, touch only the two lateral

edges of the stand.

Filling with water (for steam-ironing, “Shot-of-

steam”and “Jet-of-steam”)

• Please fill with normal tap water before using

for the first time. Maximum filling is 0.62 litre.

• Also use tap water to refill the tank. If the tap

water is very hard (over 10°DH), it is advisable

to mix it with demineralised or distilled water

(50% tap water and 50% demineralised or

distilled water).

• Never use perfumes, vinegar, descaling agents

or other chemicals.

• Do not use water from a water softener.

• During steam-ironing, the system will

automatically pump water from the water tank

into the steam tank.

Filling before you start ironing

- Make sure that the steam tank and the iron are

both switched off. Remove the mains plug from

the wall socket.

- For easy and safe filling the water tank can be

removed (fig. 2) and filled under the tap (fig. 3).

MAX

- When replacing the filled water tank, push

down firmly to make sure it is well-seated

(fig. 4).

- On the other hand, it is also possible to leave

the water tank in place when filling it. Use a

beaker with spout to avoid spillage (fig. 5).

Filling during ironing

After steam ironing for

some time (switch ≤

(D) in position “on” and

corresponding pilot light

illuminating), the water

tank will become empty.

To indicate that the

water tank needs

refilling, pilot light *(F)

will illuminate (fig. 6).

- Switch the iron and the steam tank off and

remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

- Refill the water tank as indicated in the

previous section.

Please note: pilot light *(F) will also illumi-

nate if the water tank is not correctly placed.

Steam tank heating up

- Plug in and switch the steam tank on (fig. 7).

(Please note: If you do not intend to use steam

you of course need not switch the steam tank

on.)

• The pilot light in switch ≤comes on to indicate

that the steam tank is switched on.

Also, pilot light Ucomes on to indicate that the

steam tank is heating up (fig. 8).

As soon as the steam tank is heated up and

steam is ready, pilot light Ugoes out.

Please note: When using the appliance for the

first time, an initial amount of 0.3 litre of water

will automatically be pumped from the water

tank into the steam tank to start the system.

It is advisable to switch off, unplug and fill the

water tank fully up before you continue.

Then the full capacity of the water tank is

available for steam ironing.

Tips

• Always check first if a label with ironing

instructions is attached to the article to be

ironed. Follow these ironing instructions in

all cases.

• If ironing instructions are missing but you know

the kind of fabric, then refer to the fabric table.

• The fabric table is valid for the fibre materials

only.

If some kind of finish has been applied (gloss,

wrinkle, relief etc.), the textile can best be

ironed at a lower temperature.

• First sort out the fabrics according to ironing

temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton,

etc.

• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down.

Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring

the lowest temperature such as those made of

synthetic fibres. Then progress to the higher

temperatures.

• If the article is made of a mixture of different

fibres, you must always select the lowest

ironing temperature of the composition of those

fibres.

(E.g. an article consisting of "60% polyester

and 40% cotton" should be ironed at the

temperature indicated for polyester (1) and

without steam.)

If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the

article has been made of, find a spot which will

be invisible when wearing or using the article to

try out the ironing temperature.

(Always start at a low temperature and

increase to one which gives the required

results.)

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be

pressed with the iron set to a steam position.

It is recommended to apply shot-of-steam and

use a dry pressing cloth.

When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shining of

the fabric may occur. This can be prevented by

turning the article inside out and ironing the

inside.

• Velvet and other textures which rapidly acquire

(L) will go out.

This indicates that the soleplate has reached

the set temperature.

After this pilot light has gone out and come on

again you can start ironing.

• During ironing pilot light "Iron heating up" (L)

will come on from time to time.

When this happens, the soleplate is being

heated-up to the required temperature again.

You can continue ironing.

Steam-ironing

- When pilot light "Steam tank heating-up" U (E)

goes out, this indicates that the steam tank is

heated up and that steam is ready. You can

now start steam ironing.

- To select the required steam output rotate the

steam control (I) (fig. 12).

The further the control is rotated clockwise, the

more steam is produced.

- While steam-ironing keep the steam activator

(J) pressed-in (fig. 13).

• During steam-ironing the two pilot lights (E)

and (L) will come on from time to time.

When this happens, either the iron or the

steam tank is being heated-up to the required

temperature. You can continue ironing.

shiny spots should be ironed in one direction

only (with the nap), applying only light pressure.

Always keep the iron moving.

• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and

silk to prevent shining spots.

• When ironing coloured silk, it is not advisable to

use steam as this may cause stains.

How to set the ironing temperature

• As indicated on the temperature dial (K) and

the table, steam-ironing is only possible at

higher ironing temperatures:

- For maximum steam high ironing

temperatures are required.

For that reason, set the temperature dial (K) to

3and the steam control (I) to positions

2or 3.

- For moderate steam you may select a

somewhat lower ironing temperature.

You can then set the temperature dial (K) to 2

or 3and the steam control (I) to position 1.

- For dry ironing, however, you may select any

suitable ironing temperature.

You can then set the temperature dial (K) to 1,

2or 3and the steam control (I) to position

- Select the required ironing temperature with the

temperature dial (K) (fig. 9).

- Set switch ≥"Iron On/Off" (C) to position

"On" (fig. 10).

The pilot light in the switch as well as pilot

light "Iron heating up" (L) will come on (fig. 11).

- After a few minutes, pilot light "Iron heating up"

MAX

MIN

"Shot-of-steam"

• Applying "Shot-of-steam" (i.e. high steam

output coming from a limited number of holes

in the soleplate) can help remove stubborn

wrinkles over a large area.

- Always set the temperature dial (K) to the

steam range (2or 3).

Otherwise the

soleplate is not hot

enough so that water

may drip from it.

- Press button (H) and

the steam activator (J)

(fig. 14).

"Jet of steam"

• Applying "Jet-of-steam" can help remove

stubborn wrinkles.

- Press button (G) and steam activator (J) (fig.

15).

• It is not necessary to

set the temperature

dial (K) to the steam

range for "Jet-of-

steam".

Steaming in a vertical position

Hanging curtains and

clothing (jackets,

woman's suits, coats)

can be steamed by

holding the iron in a

vertical position (fig. 16).

"Jet of steam" (fig. 17)

and "Shot-of-steam"

(fig. 18) can be applied

as well in a vertical position.

Dry-ironing

For ironing without

steam set the steam

control (I) to position O

(fig. 19). Steam activator

(J) is now blocked and

no steam can come to

the iron. Also "Shot-of-

steam" and "Jet-of-

steam" do not function.

You can also switch off

the steam tank (D).

When finished ironing

- Switch off the steam tank and the iron

(fig. 20, 21).

- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

- Place the iron on the stand and let it cool down.

Cleaning

- Before cleaning remove the mains plug from

the wall socket and allow the iron to cool down

sufficiently.

- The appliance can be cleaned with a damp

cloth.

Storage

- Arrange the supply hose and mains cord in the

storage compartment (fig. 22, 23).

- For transport there are

handgrips on either

side of the steam tank

(fig. 24).

Assistance guide

Situation

When placing the water tank into

the appliance some water is spilt

over the cap.

The water tank is filled with

water and placed into the

appliance.

But yet pilot light *(“Water tank

empty”) remains on.

The appliance is noisy.

When switched on for the first

time, the water tank suddenly

becomes half-empty (although

you have not yet used any

steam).

The appliance produces steam,

but the sound of the pump is not

regular.

After switching on for the first

time some smoke comes from

the appliance.

Drops of water come from the

soleplate.

What do to

Do not fill the water tank higher

than indication “MAX” and place

it carefully.

Check if the water tank is in the

correct position. Then press the

tank downwards until well-

seated (fig. 4).

Move the appliance or place it

on a different surface.

Check if the water tank is in the

correct position. Then press the

tank downwards until well-

seated (fig. 4).

Switch off, unplug and refill the

water tank to maximum level

before you start steam ironing.

Nothing.

Nothing. (After a short while this

phenomenon will stop.)

Select the required ironing

temperature as indicated in

these instructions. (Also refer to

the table.)

Place the steam tank on a stable

and even surface.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Just place the iron on an extra

piece of cloth. This will catch the

drops of water while you “steam

iron” it.

After a few seconds the iron will

start producing steam.

Likely cause

Too much water in the water

tank.

The water tank has not been

placed correctly into the

appliance.

The appliance vibrates on the

surface it is placed on.

The water tank is not correctly

placed into the appliance.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Only with first use the steam

tank is automatically filled with

0.3 litre of water.

This is a normal phenomenon.

A microcomputer controls the

pump which automatically

transfers small quantities of

water from the water tank into

the steam tank.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Some parts of the iron have

been greased lightly in the

factory.

The temperature dial (K) has

been set to a temperature which

is too low for steam ironing.

The steam tank is placed on an

unstable and/or uneven surface.

When starting steam ironing the

supply hose is too cold. Steam

condenses in the hose and

escapes from the soleplate.
