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 ver y 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.

ENGLISH10

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

up continuously.

- Thanks to the Auto Steam Sensor technology, the iron starts steaming
automatically when it is moved.

Steam Boost function (specic types only)

- Press the steam trigger twice. The iron delivers one single shot of high
steam output to remove stubborn wrinkles.

- During delivery of the Steam Boost, the Smart light ashes quickly.

Vertical steam ironing

- Hold the iron in vertical position. Then press and hold the steam trigger
to steam the garment vertically.

Tip: Pull the garment with one hand to stretch it for more effective wrinkle
removal.

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 body to prevent burns.

Note: Water is regularly pumped into the steam chamber, which causes the
iron to produce a pumping sound. This is normal.

ENGLISH 11

Putting down the iron during ironing

- Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board.

ECO mode (specic types only)

During ironing, you can use the ECO mode to save energy but still have
sufcient steam to iron all your garments.

Note: For the best results, we advise you to use the ‘OptimalTemp’ mode.

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, start 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 starts 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.

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
