Important

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.

◗Check the cord regularly for possible damage.

◗Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance

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.

Before first use

1Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate and

clean it with a soft cloth.

Always put the iron on a flat, stable surface to prevent the iron from

toppling over (avoid putting it too close to the edges of the ironing

board or table). Make sure that the mains cord does not obstruct any

passage.

BThe iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.This

will cease after a short while.

C2Put the iron on its heel and open the cap of the filling opening.

C3Fill the water tank with tap water up to the maximum level by

means of the filling cup.

determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not

be visible when you wear or use the article.

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.

gone out and then goes on again.

The amber pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.
