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

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 byThe 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,
