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.

Before rst use

This appliance is intended for ironing and refreshing fabrics only. Remove all packaging material. Always place the appliance on a stable and horizontal surface. Fill the water tank before every use.

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 up the water tank with water. You can rell the water tank at any time during use.

ENGLISH

1 Press the lever in the water tank handle and

remove the water tank from the base.

2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication.

Note: Do not ll the water tank beyond the MAX indication to avoid spillage.

3 Push the water tank back into the appliance

until it locks in place (‘click’).

Note: Be careful when you tilt or carry the appliance when the water tank is full, as water may spill out.

Using your appliance

Ironable fabrics
