OptimalTEMP technology
Now you can iron everything from jeans to silk
with no temperature setting required.
Guaranteed no burn on all ironable fabrics.
Revolutionary technology with both the
Advanced Smart Control Processor, which
precisely controls the soleplate temperature so
that you don't need to, and the powerful
cyclonic steam chamber, which delivers
consistent, powerful steam, making ironing
easier and faster.

steam, you can save energy without
compromising on the ironing results.

Phili ps soleplate. Is extremely scratch resistant,
glides excellently and is easy to clean.

tap water. While i roning, when the water tank
runs out of water, you can easily refill it without
having to wait or turn off your appliance.
Safety carry lock
Your steam generator iron comes with a safety
carry lock. You can lock your iron safely on the
base, making i t safer and reducing the risk of
people touching the hot soleplate. You can also
carry the steam generator easily.
Safe rest
The innovative Philips Opti malTEMP
technology guarantees no burns on all ironable
fabrics. During i roning, there is no
need to put your iron back on the base station;
just leave the hot iron soleplate directly on the
garments or cotton ironi ng board cover without
an additional resting accessory. It will not
damage any of your ironable garments, or the
board. This makes your ironing easi er, with less
wrist effort.
