Exclusive technology from Philips
OptimalTEMP technology
The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to
iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order,
without adjusting the iron temperature and
without sorting your garments.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly
on the ironing board without putting back to
the iron platform. This will help reduce the
stress on your wrist.
Compact ProVelocity technology
This technology delivers continuous steam that
penetrates deeply to remove creases easily.
At the same time, it keeps the appliance more
compact and lighter than traditional steam
generators, for easier storage.
