Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet

This user manual contains information about the surprising features of

this iron and some tips to make ironing easier and more enjoyable.

This iron is equipped with a special sensor-controlled handle and

automatic energy-saving technology.

While you iron, the sensor in the handle ensures that the iron produces

the optimal amount of steam.As 90% of the energy consumption of an

iron is used to create steam, energy consumption is optimised by

optimising the steam output.When you intuitively put more force on the

handle to remove stubborn creases, the iron automatically produces

more steam.

When you do not press the handle, when you lift the iron and when the

iron is standing on its heel or on its soleplate without any movement, the

automatic energy-saving technology limits the steam output to reduce

energy consumption.

We hope you enjoy using this iron.

Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it

for future reference.

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature.

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, woolen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to

prevent shiny patches.To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

such as those made of synthetic bers.

1 Put the iron on its heel.

2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial

to the appropriate position (Fig. 5).

See table ‘Temperature and steam settings’.
