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.
◗ Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
◗ Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself shows visible
damage, or if the appliance has been dropped or is leaking.
◗ Check the cord regularly for possible damage.
◗ 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.
◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗ 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.
◗ Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other
chemicals in the water tank.
◗ 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 O, put the iron on its heel and remove the
mains plug from the earthed wall socket.
◗ Place and use the iron on a stable ironing board or table.
◗ If a stand is provided with the appliance, ensure that the stand is placed on a
stable surface.
◗ This appliance is intended for household use only.
Preparing for use
.
Filling the water tank
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
2 Set the steam control to position O (= no steam) (fig. 1).
3 Open the filling cap (specific types only).
4 Tilt the iron and fill the water tank up to maximum level (fig. 2).
Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
5 Close the filling cap (click!) (specific types only).
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to use distilled water.
Do not use vinegar, starch or chemically descaled water.
Setting the temperature
◗ The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This will
cease after a short while.
1 Put the iron on its heel and set the temperature dial to the required ironing
temperature by turning it to the appropriate position (fig. 3).
- Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature.
- 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 Silk
- 2 Wool
- 3 Cotton, linen
- 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 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.
