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 (Fig. 2) 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.
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 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 the water tank before every use or when the water level in the water tank drops below the minimum level. You can
rell the water tank at any time during use.
1 Open the water tank lling door (Fig. 3).
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 4).
3 Close the water tank lling door (‘click’).
