Introduction
Thank you for buying this Philips PerfectCare Elite.
- The Philips PerfectCare offers you an innovative way to iron your garments. We all know the fuss with traditional irons: choosing the right temperature for your tough and delicate fabrics, waiting for the iron to warm up and cool down to avoid the risk of damaging clothes with an iron that is too hot. Those hassles are things of the past with the new Philips PerfectCare.
- In principle, wrinkle removal is done by transferring heat to fabric. Historically, this was done with a very hot soleplate. Then steam was added to enhance heat transfer, thus making ironing much faster. Our research conrmed that the best way to remove wrinkles effectively is a perfect combination of intense steam and optimal soleplate temperature. The key to effective wrinkle removal is the steam, not the soleplate temperature. The soleplate temperature needs to be just above the steam temperature to remove any moisture. This is the optimal temperature.
- In the past, a large amount of steam at this optimal temperature would have led to water leakage. We developed a unique patented cyclonic chamber to maintain high-pressure steam that penetrates deep into the fabric for fast ironing with no risk of water leakage.
- Ironing is now truly simple - no temperature adjustment, no scorching, no waiting for the appliance to heat up or cool down. It is faster, no matter who does the ironing. With this OptimalTemp technology, every single garment can be ironed effectively and safely.
- This appliance has been approved by The Woolmark Company Pty Ltd for the ironing of wool only products provided that the garments are ironed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this appliance. R1501. In United Kingdom, Eire, Hong Kong and India, the Woolmark trademark is a Certication trademark.

Before rst use
This appliance is intended for ironing and refreshing fabrics only. Remove all packaging material and stickers. Remove the protective cover from the soleplate before you use the appliance. Always place the appliance on a stable and horizontal surface. Fill the water tank before every use (see chapter ‘Using your appliance’, section ‘Filling the water tank’).
Using your appliance
Filling the water tank
Fill the water tank before every use and when the ‘water tank empty’ light ashes.
1 Remove the water tank from the appliance.
ENGLISH 9
10
2 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the MAX indication.
Note: Do not ll the water tank beyond the MAX indication to avoid spillage. If you have overlled the water tank, empty it until the water level drops below the MAX indication again.
3 Put the water tank back into the appliance by sliding in the bottom
part rst. Then push the top part until it locks into place.
Tip:. Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. In case you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralised water to prolong the lifetime of your appliance.
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.
Note: Do not tilt or shake the appliance when the water tank is full, otherwise water may spill out of the lling hole.
Heating up
1 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
ENGLISH
, The blue power-on light on the appliance and the ‘iron ready’ light
start to ash to indicate that the appliance is heating up.
, When the appliance is ready for use, the ‘iron ready light’ and the
power-on light stop ashing and light up continuously. Additionally
you hear a short beep.
Note: Water is pumped into the boiler inside the appliance, which causes the appliance to produce a pumping sound for up to 2 minutes. This is normal.
Carry lock
1 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the
iron platform.
Temperature setting
The Optimal Temp technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron temperature.
Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.
ENGLISH 11
12
Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments.
Ironing
1 Unfold your ironing board and set it to the appropriate height. 2 Place the garment you want to iron on the ironing board.
3 You can start ironing when the ‘iron ready’ light stops ashing and
lights up continuously.
Note: The default steam setting is the normal steam mode. It is recommended to use this mode for all ironable fabrics.
Steam trigger
- Press the steam trigger to start ironing.
Tip: If you have thick garments keep the steam trigger pressed continuously when you move the iron over the fabric. Then move the iron over the same area a few more times without steam to dry the fabric. The steam will stop when you release the steam trigger.
Note: For the best results on silk and shiny synthetic fabrics it is recommended to keep the steam trigger pressed continuously while ironing.
Steam boost function
The steam boost function is designed to help tackle difcult creases.
- Double press the steam trigger for a continuous shot of steam. It is not necessary to press and hold the steam trigger continuously when the steam boost function is activated. To stop the steam boost function, press the steam trigger once.

ENGLISH
Vertical ironing
For vertical steaming, we advise you to switch to the TURBO steam mode.
- Put the garment that you want to steam on a clothes hanger and hang it from e.g. a hanging rack. Hold the iron in vertical position. Pull the garment with one hand and stretch it slightly for more effective wrinkle removal. While pulling the garment, press the steam trigger and move the iron up and down.
4 When you put down the iron during ironing, put it on the iron
platform or place it on the ironing board in horizontal position, on its soleplate.
Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment while someone is wearing it. Do not apply steam near
your or someone else’s body to prevent burns.
Note: Regularly water is pumped into the boiler inside the appliance again, which causes the appliance to produce a pumping sound. This is normal.
ECO mode
During ironing, you can use the ECO mode to save energy but still have sufcient steam to iron all your garments.
Note: For the best results, we advise you to use the normal steam mode.
1 Press the ECO button.
, The ECO button lights up green.
2 To switch back to the normal steam mode, press the ECO button
again.
, The green light in the ECO button goes out.
TURBO steam mode
The TURBO steam mode has a higher amount of steam. You can use it for thick garments to have better steam penetration.
Note: As the TURBO steam mode produces a high amount of steam, the supply hose may become hotter than at the normal steam and ECO modes. This is normal.
1 Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds until the light
turns white.
, The ‘iron ready’ light on the iron and the white TURBO light in the
on/off button start to ash to indicate that the iron is heating up to the TURBO steam mode. This takes up to 2 minutes.
2 To switch back to the normal steam mode, press and hold the
on/off button for 2 seconds until the light turns blue again.
