Introduction

Thank you for buying this Philips PerfectCare Elite.
- The Philips PerfectCare offers you an innovative way to iron your
garments. We all know the fuss with traditional irons: choosing the
right temperature for your tough and delicate fabrics, waiting for the
iron to warm up and cool down to avoid the risk of damaging clothes
with an iron that is too hot. Those hassles are things of the past with
the new Philips PerfectCare.
- In principle, wrinkle removal is done by transferring heat to
fabric. Historically, this was done with a very hot soleplate. Then
steam was added to enhance heat transfer, thus making ironing much
faster. Our research confirmed that the best way to remove wrinkles
effectively is a perfect combination of intense steam and optimal
soleplate temperature. The key to effective wrinkle removal is the
steam, not the soleplate temperature. The soleplate temperature
needs to be just above the steam temperature to remove any
moisture. This is the optimal temperature.
- In the past, a large amount of steam at this optimal temperature
would have led to water leakage. We developed a unique patented
cyclonic chamber to maintain high-pressure steam that penetrates
deep into the fabric for fast ironing with no risk of water leakage.
- Ironing is now truly simple - no temperature adjustment, no scorching,
no waiting for the appliance to heat up or cool down. It is faster, no
matter who does the ironing. With this OptimalTemp technology,
every single garment can be ironed effectively and safely.
- This appliance has been approved by The Woolmark Company Pty
Ltd for the ironing of wool only products provided that the garments
