Introduction

Thank you for buying this Philips appliance.

- The new Philips PerfectCare Xpress steam iron 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 Xpress steam iron.

- 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, a high amount of steam at this optimal temperature would

have led to water leakage. We developed a unique steam chamber that generates a consistent output of moisture-rich 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 for heating up and cooling down. Ironing takes less time, 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. R1201. In the United Kingdom, Eire, Hong Kong and India, the Woolmark trademark is a certication

trademark.

Temperature and steam setting

The OptimalTemp technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron temperature or steam

setting.

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

polyester, silk, wool, viscose, rayon.

- Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments.

ENGLISH14

Ironing

1 Unfold your ironing board and set it to the appropriate height.

2 Place the garment you want to steam iron on the ironing board.

Note: With the OptimalTemp technology, every single garment can be ironed effectively and safely, even delicate fabrics like silk.

3 YoucanstartironingwhentheSmartlightstopsashingandlights

Ironing tips

Minimising wrinkles while drying

Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your laundry properly after washing and by putting garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.

Best practice shirt ironing

Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves. Next,

iron the bigger parts like front and back to prevent wrinkling the bigger

parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts. Collar: When you iron a collar, star t on its underside and work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more crisp nish.

Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and faster ironing.

Safety Auto-off

- To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not been moved for 3 minutes in horizontal position, or 8 minutes when

left standing on its heel. The Smart light star ts ashing slowly.

- To reactivate the iron, press the steam trigger. The iron starts heating up again.

Note: The steam iron is not switched off completely when it is in Safety Auto-off mode. Unplug the iron to switch it off.

ENGLISH16

Cleaning and maintenance

1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth after every use.

2 To easily and effectively remove stains, let the appliance heat up and

Introduktion

Tak, fordi du har købt dette Philips-apparat.

- Det nye Philips PerfectCare Xpress-dampstrygejern giver dig en

nyskabende måde at stryge dit tøj på. Vi kender alle besværet med almindelige strygejern: nde den rette temperatur til dine vanskelige og sarte stoffer, vente på, at strygejernet varmer op og køler ned for at undgå risiko for skade tøj med et for varmt strygejern. Disse besværligheder er fortid med det nye Philips PerfectCare Xpressdampstrygejern.

- I princippet foretages udglatning af folder ved at overføre varme til stoffet. Traditionelt blev dette gjort med en meget varm strygesål.

Derefter blev der tilføjet damp for at forbedre varmeoverførslen,

hvilket gør strygningen meget hurtigere. Vores forskning bekræfter,

at den bedste metode til at fjerne folder effektivt er en perfekt

kombination af intens damp og optimal strygetemperatur. Nøglen til effektiv udglatning af folder er dampen og ikke strygesålens temperatur. Strygesålens temperatur skal være lige over damptemperaturen for at

fjerne fugt. Dette er den optimale temperatur.

- Tidligere ville en stor mængde damp ved denne optimale temperatur

have medført vandlækage. Vi har udviklet et unikt dampkammer, der genererer en ensartet udledning af fugtrig damp, der trænger dybt ind i stoffet, så du kan stryge hurtigt uden risiko for vandlækage.

- Strygning er nu virkelig enkelt - ingen temperaturjustering, ingen brændte pletter, ingen ventetid på opvarmning eller afkøling. Strygning tager kortere tid, uanset hvem der står for strygningen. Med denne OptimalTemp-teknologi bliver hvert enkelt stykke tøj strøget effektivt

og sikkert.

- Strygejernet er blevet godkendt af Woolmark Company Pty Ltd til

strygning af uldprodukter, forudsat at tøjet stryges i overensstemmelse med instruktionerne på tøjets mærkat og instruktionerne fra producenten af dette strygejern. R1201. I Storbritannien, Irland, Hongkong og Indien er varemærket Woolmark et certiceret varemærke.
