Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for
future reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself is damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre
authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Never leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the mains.
Never immerse the iron in water.
Infirm persons should not be allowed to use the appliance without
supervision. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other
chemicals in the water tank.
The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if
touched. Do not allow the cord to come into contact with the soleplate when
it is hot.
When you have finished ironing, when you clean the appliance, when you fill or
empty the water tank and also when you leave the iron even for a short while:
set the steam control to position 0, put the iron on its heel and remove the
mains plug from the wall socket.
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.
The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This will
B
cease after a short while.
Preparing for use
.
Filling the water tank
Never immerse the iron in water.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position O (= no steam) (fig. 1).
3 Tilt the iron backwards.
4 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the maximum level (fig. 2).
Do not fill the tank beyond the MAX indication.
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal
amount of distilled water or to use distilled water only.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing additives, chemically
descaled water or other chemicals in the water tank.

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.
2 Set the required ironing temperature by turning the temperature dial to the
appropriate position (fig. 3).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
1
- Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 Silk
2
- Wool
- 3 Cotton, linen
If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) an article is made of, determine the right
ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be 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 fibres.
