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 without
putting back to the iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your
wrist.
This iron 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 iron. R1602. In the United Kingdom, Eire, Hong Kong
and India, the Woolmark trademark is a certication trademark.
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
1 Fill the water tank before every use or when the water level in the water
tank drops below the minimum level. You can rell the water tank at any
time during use.
2 Remove the water tank from the base.
3 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication.
4 Put the water tank back into the appliance by tting the bottom part
into the appliance rst.
5 Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place ('click').

Using the appliance
Ironable fabrics
Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton,
polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.
Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic
fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and
polyolens (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on garments are not ironable either.
Ironing
1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the
base on a stable ironing board.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/o
button to switch on the steam generator. Wait until the 'iron ready' light
lights up continuously. This takes approx. 2 minutes.
4 Remove the water supply hose from the water supply hose storage
compartment.
5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron
platform.
6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing.
Warning: Never direct steam at people.
7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last
strokes without steam.
Note: When you use the appliance for the rst time, it may take 30 seconds
for steam to come out of the appliance.
Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It
produces subtle rattling sound, which is normal. When there is no water in
the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up the water tank with water
when the water level drops below the minimum level.

For more powerful steam, you can use the TURBO steam mode, which is
safe on all ironable fabrics.
For fabrics such as cotton, jeans and linen, you are recommended to use
the TURBO steam mode.
1 Press and hold the on/o button for 2 seconds until the light turns
white.
2 To deactivate the TURBO mode, press and hold the on/o button for 2
seconds again until the light turns blue.
Steam boost function
Use the steam boost function to remove stubborn creases.
1 Press the steam trigger twice quickly.
Vertical ironing
Warning: 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 hand.
You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from
hanging fabrics.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the
garment lightly with the soleplate and move the iron up and down.
Safe rest
Resting the iron while rearranging your garment
While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the
iron platform or horizontally on the ironing board. The OptimalTEMP
technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.

Energy saving
Eco mode
By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy
without compromising on the ironing result.
1 To activate the ECO mode, press the ECO button. The green ECO light
goes on.
2 To deactivate the ECO mode, press the ECO button again. The green
ECO light goes out.
Safety auto-o mode (specic types only)
-To save energy, the appliance switches o automatically when it has
not been used for 5 minutes. The auto-o light in the on/o button
starts to ash.
-To activate the appliance again, press the on/o button. The appliance
then starts to heat up again.
Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is
connected to the mains. Always unplug the appliance after use.
Cleaning and maintenance
Smart Calc-Clean System
Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to
ensure that descaling and cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain
a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and stains coming out of the
soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
steam generator gives regular reminders.
Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder
After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts ashing and the
appliance starts beeping to indicate that you have to perform the Calc-
Clean process.
English
11
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the steam generator from
scale is integrated: the steam function gets disabled if descaling is not
done. After descaling is done, the steam function will be restored. This
takes place regardless of the type of water used.
Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when
the sound and light reminder is not activated yet.
Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container
Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-
Clean process.
Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container. Do not interrupt the process by lifting the iron up from the
Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come out of the
soleplate.
1 Fill up the water tank halfway.
Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON
during the Calc-Clean process.
2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even,
stable surface.
3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container.
English

4 Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear
short beeps.
Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale
particles and hot water during the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly
safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire process.
5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping
sound.
6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the
process. When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops
beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops ashing.
7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station.
Caution: The iron is hot.
8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean
process, wait approx. 5 minutes before you touch it. Then carry the
Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future use.
9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the
Calc-Clean container before you start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the
soleplate if no scale has accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.
For more information on how to carry out the Calc-Clean process, refer to
the videos in this link: http://www.philips.com/descaling-iron.
