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
(Fig. 2). This will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
Compact ProVelocity Technology
This technology delivers continuous steam that penetrates deeply to remove creases easily (Fig. 3). 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 refill the water tank at any time during use.
2 Remove the water tank from the base (Fig. 4).
3 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 5).
4 Put the water tank back into the appliance by fitting the bottom part into the appliance first.
5 Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place ('click') (Fig. 6).
