Preparing for use

Type of water to use

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard
water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized
water (50% demineralized/distilled water mixed with water could be used as well) to prolong the
lifetime of the appliance.

Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling
agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water
spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.

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 rell the water tank at any time during use.

1 Press the lever in the water tank handle and remove the water tank from the base (Fig. 2).
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 3).
3 Push the water tank back into the appliance until it locks in place (‘click’).

Using the appliance

Ironable fabrics

Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

- Fabrics with these symbols (Fig. 4) are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool,
viscose and rayon.

- Fabrics with this symbol (Fig. 5) are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such
as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on
garments are not ironable either.

Ironing

1 Place the appliance on a stable and even surface.

English

Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing
board, a table, or the oor.

2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3 Remove the water supply hose from the storage compartment.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/o button to switch on the

appliance (Fig. 6). Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously (Fig. 7). This takes about
2 minutes.

5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform (Fig. 8).
6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 9).

Note: When you start your ironing session and especially during the rst usage of steam trigger, it
may take more than 30 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. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder.

7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.

Note: If you do not release the trigger early enough and lift the iron to the base, you might notice
that steam still comes out, which is normal. To avoid that eect, we recommand you to leave the
iron on the board while rearranging the garment.

Warning: Never direct steam at people.

Steam boost function

1 Press the steam trigger twice quickly to release a powerful boost of steam for 3 seconds (Fig. 10).

Note: It is recommended to use the steam boost function only for stubborn crease.

Vertical ironing

Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment
while someone is wearing it (Fig. 11). 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 and move the iron up and down (Fig. 12).

7

Safe rest
Resting the iron while rearranging your garment

While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the
ironing board (Fig. 13). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing
board cover.

Auto shut-o

- The appliances enters the standby mode if it has not been used for 5 minutes. The light of the on/
o button starts to ash.

- To activate the appliance again, press the on/o button or the steam trigger. The appliance starts
to heat up again.

- The appliance switches o automatically if it has not been used for another 10 minutes after it
enters the standby mode. The light in the on/o button goes o.

Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Always unplug
the appliance after use.

Cleaning and maintenance

Smart Calc-Clean System

Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and
cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and

8

English

stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
appliance gives regular reminders.

Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder

After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts ashing and the appliance starts beeping to
indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 14).

Besides that, a second defense step to protect the appliance from scale is integrated: the steam
function gets disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 15). After descaling is done, the steam function will
be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.

Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder
is not activated yet.

Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container

Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.

Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. Do not interrupt the
process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come out
of the soleplate.

1 Fill up the water tank halfway.

Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.

2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface.
3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 16).
4 Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 17).

Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during
the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire
process.

5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 18).
6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 19). When the

Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops ashing.

7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 20).

Caution: The iron is hot.

8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait about 5 minutes

before you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future
use (Fig. 21).

9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the Calc-Clean container

before you start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the soleplate if no scale has

accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.

For more information on how to carry out the Calc-Clean process, refer to the videos in this link:
http://www.philips.com/descaling-iron.

Storage

1 Switch o the appliance and unplug it.

Note: it is recommended to empty the water tank after every use.

2 Place the iron on the iron platform and lock it by pushing the carry lock release button (Fig. 22).
3 Fold the supply hose and wind the supply hose inside the supply hose storage compartment

(Fig. 23).

4 Fold the mains cord and fasten it with the Velcro strip.
5 You can carry the appliance with one hand by the handle of the iron when the iron is locked on the

iron platform.
