Danger

Never immerse the iron in water.

Warning

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance

corresponds to the local mains voltage before you

connect the appliance.

Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord

or the appliance itself shows visible damage, or if the

appliance has been dropped or leaks.

If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it

replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by

Philips or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid

a hazard.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is

connected to the mains.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance.

Do not let the mains cord come into contact with

the hot soleplate of the iron.

Caution

If the appliance has an earthed plug, it must be

plugged into an earthed wall socket.

Check the mains cord regularly for possible damage.

The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot

and may cause burns if touched.

When you have nished ironing, when you clean the

appliance, when you ll or empty the water tank and

also when you leave the iron even for a short while:

set the steam control to position O, put the iron on

its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall

socket.

Always place and use the iron on a stable, level and

horizontal surface.

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents,

ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards

regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled

properly and according to the instructions in this user

manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientic

evidence available today.

Before first use

1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the

soleplate.

2 Let the iron heat up to maximum temperature and

pass the iron over a piece of damp cloth for several

minutes to remove any residues from the soleplate.

Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents,

ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other

chemicals in the water tank.

1 Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

2 Set the steam control to position O (= no

steam) (Fig. 2).

3 Openthecapofthellingopening.

4 Tilttheironandllthewatertankuptomaximum

level under the tap (Fig. 3).

Note: Do not ll the water tank beyond the MAX indication.

Note: If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise

you to use distilled water. Do not use chemically descaled

water.

5 Closethecapofthellingopening(‘click’).

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel (Fig. 4).

2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the

temperature dial to the appropriate position.

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing

temperature.

1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide,

polyester)

1 Silk

2 Wool

3 Cotton, linen

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article

is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by

ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use

the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side

of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the

spray function to prevent stains. Start ironing the articles

that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those

made of synthetic bres.

3 Plug in the appliance. If the appliance has an earthed

plug, put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

The temperature light goes on.

4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while

before you start ironing.

During ironing, the temperature light goes on from

time to time. This indicates that the iron is heating

up to the set temperature.

Using the appliance

Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for

the rst time. This stops after a short while.

Steam ironing

1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water

tank.

2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see

chapter‘Preparingforuse’,section‘Settingthe

temperature’).

3 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure

that the steam setting is suitable for the ironing

temperature selected: (Fig. 2)

ç for minimum steam (temperature settings 2 and

3).

é for maximum steam (temperature settings 3

to MAX).

Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it has

reached the set temperature.

Specic types only:

Water may leak from the soleplate if the set temperature

is too low (MIN to 2).

Ironing without steam

1 Set the steam control to position (= no steam). O

2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see

chapter‘Preparingforuse’,section‘Settingthe

temperature’).

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function at any temperature

to moisten the article to be ironed. This helps

remove stubborn creases.

1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water

tank.

2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the

article to be ironed (Fig. 5).

Shot of steam (specic types only)

A powerful shot of steam helps to remove very stubborn

creases.

The shot-of-steam function only works at temperature

settings between and MAX. 2

1 Press and release the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 6).

Vertical shot of steam (specic types only)

You can also use the shot-of-steam function when

you hold the iron in vertical position. This is useful for

removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press and

release the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 7).

Never direct the steam at people.

Drip stop (specic types only)

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the

iron automatically stops producing steam when the

temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping

out of the soleplate. When this happens you hear a click.

Automatic shut-off function (specic

types only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off

the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

Theautomaticshut-offlightashestoindicatethat

the iron has been switched off by the automatic

shut-off function. (Fig. 8)

To let the iron heat up again:

1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly.

The automatic shut-off light goes out.

If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped

below the set ironing temperature, the temperature

light goes on.

2 If the temperature light goes on after you have

moved the iron, wait for it to go out before you

start ironing.

Note: If the temperature light does not go on after you move

the iron, the soleplate still has the right temperature and the

iron is ready for use.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1 Set the steam control to position , remove the O

plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool

down.

2 Wipeakesandanyotherdepositsoffthe

soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive

(liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with

metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or

other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty

the water tank after you have rinsed it (Fig. 9).

Double-Active Calc System (specic types

only)

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc

tablet inside the water tank combined with the Calc-

The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the

steam vents. The tablet is constantly active and does

not need to be replaced (Fig. 10).

The Calc-Clean function removes scale particles

from the iron.

Calc-Clean function

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If

the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when akes come

holeandtthesmallprojectiononthesideofthe

needle into the slot. Press down the steam control

while you turn it to position O (Fig. 15).

contains a lot of impurities.

After the Calc-Clean process

1 Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the

iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.

2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes

out.

3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to

remove any water stains that may have formed on

the soleplate.
