3 Take the ANTI-CALC cartridge out of its package (1) and pull the rubber cap from its bottom (2). Place theANTI-CALC cartridge in the compartment and press it down until it locks into place (3).Then close the ANTI-CALC cartridge compartment lid.
Note: Some water droplets may fall out of the ANTI-CALC cartridge when you place it into the compartment.This is normal and the water is harmless.
Preparing for use
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.
-Make sure you only use one of the 3 types of water mentioned below to fill the water tank:
1 Tap water
The ANTI-CALC cartridge filters scale particles from tap water.The scale content in the filtered water is regularly monitored by an electronic sensor. This sensor informs you when the cartridge needs to be replaced.
2Demineralised water
You can safely use demineralised water in your steam generator. Make sure that the ANTI-CALC cartridge is always in place, as the cartridge serves as a link between the water tank and the iron.When you use demineralised water, the ANTI-CALC cartridge is not used and therefore replacement of the cartridge is not necessary.
3 Descaled water from the IronCare
The IronCare removes scale from tap water to ensure optimum performance for your iron. For more information, go to www.philips.com/ironcare.
Caution: Do not use perfumed water, water from a tumble dryer, rainwater, vinegar, mineral water, magnetically treated water (Aqua+), water from a drinking water filter, starch, descaling agents,ironing aids, salt or chemicals in the water tank.These types of water have been tested.They are not suitable and may even cause damage to the
appliance. If you use any of these types of water, your guarantee becomes invalid.
1 Open the filling funnel lid.

2Fill the water tank with tap water up to the MAX indication.Then close filling funnel lid (‘click’).
Using the appliance
OptimalTemp technology
Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
This appliance is equipped with OptimalTemp technology, which enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics without adjusting the iron temperature or steam setting.
-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), but also prints on garments.
Ironing
1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank (see section
‘Filling the water tank’ in chapter‘Preparing for use’).
3 Plug in the appliance and press the on/off button.Wait for approx. 2 minutes until the‘iron ready’ light stops flashing.

4Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing. Keep the steam trigger pressed continuously when you move the iron over the fabric.
Note:When you use the appliance for the first time or after replacement of the ANTI-CALC cartridge, it may take 10 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.
Steam boost function
-Use the steam boost function to remove stubborn creases. Press the
steam trigger twice quickly.
Vertical steam ironing
Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove creases from a garment that someone is wearing. 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.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position,press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the soleplate.
Putting down the iron during ironing
-During ironing, you can place the iron either on the iron platform
or horizontally on the ironing board.Thanks to the OptimalTemp technology, the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.

Energy saving
ECO mode
By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy without compromising on the ironing result.
1 To activate the ECO mode, press the ECO button.The light in the ECO button goes on.
2 To switch back to the ‘OptimalTemp’ setting, press the ECO button again.
For the shortest ironing time, we advise you to use the ‘OptimalTemp’ setting.
Safety auto-off (specific types only)
The safety auto-off function automatically switches off the appliance if it has not been used for 5 minutes, to save energy.
IMPORTANT: Replacing the ANTI-CALC cartridge
ANTI-CALC replacement light
It is very important that you replace theANTI-CALC cartridge when the ANTI-CALC cartridge replacement light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping.
Note:The cartridge lasts 3 months on average, but this depends on the hardness of the water you use and on how many hours you iron.
- The ANTI-CALC replacement light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping to indicate that the ANTI-CALC cartridge needs to be replaced.
-
- |
You can still continue steam ironing for 15-30 min. (depending on the hardness of the water used) when the ANTI-CALC replacement light flashes and the appliance beeps. However, the steam output will diminish and ultimately the steam generator stops producing steam to
prevent scale build-up that would permanently damage your appliance. To let the appliance produce steam again, you have to replace the ANTI-CALC cartridge. If you do not want to replace the ANTI-CALC cartridge, you have to use demineralised water or descaled water from the IronCare. In that case, you need to leave the exhausted cartridge in the compartment.
Replacing the ANTI-CALC cartridge
1Switch off the appliance and let it cool down.
2Follow the steps in chapter‘Before first use - Placing theANTICALC cartridge’.

There is too much steam coming out of the iron.
The default setting of the iron is the OptimalTemp setting. In this setting the iron provides a high steam output.
Activate the ECO mode to iron with a lower steam output. See section ‘Energy saving’ in this user manual.
