Preparing for use
Filling the water tank
- Fill the water tank before every use or when the water level in the
water tank drops below the minimum level. You can rell the water
tank at any time during use.
- Make sure you only use one of the 3 types of water mentioned below
to ll the water tank:
1 Tap water
The ANTI-CALC cartridge lters scale particles from tap water. The scale
content in the ltered water is regularly monitored by an electronic sensor.
This sensor informs you when the cartridge needs to be replaced.
2 Demineralised water
You can safely use demineralised water in your steam generator. Make sure
that the ANTI-CALC cartridge is always in place, as the cartridge serves as
a link between the water tank and the iron. When you use demineralised
water, the ANTI-CALC cartridge is not used and therefore replacement of
the cartridge is not necessary.
3 Descaled water from the IronCare
The IronCare removes scale from tap water to ensure optimum
performance for your iron. For more information, go to
www.philips.com/ironcare.
Caution: Do not use perfumed water, water from a tumble dryer,
rainwater,vinegar,mineralwater,magneticallytreatedwater(Aqua+),
waterfromadrinkingwaterlter,starch,descalingagents,ironing
aids,saltorchemicalsinthewatertank.Thesetypesofwaterhave
beentested.Theyarenotsuitableandmayevencausedamagetothe
appliance. If you use any of these types of water, your guarantee becomes
invalid.
1 Openthellingfunnellid.
2 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the MAX indication.Then
closellingfunnellid(‘click’).

Using the appliance
OptimalTemp technology
Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
This appliance is equipped with OptimalTemp technology, which enables
you to iron all types of ironable fabrics without adjusting the iron
temperature or steam setting.
- 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
polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments.
Ironing
1 Placethesteamgeneratoronastableandevensurface.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank (see section
‘Fillingthewatertank’inchapter‘Preparingforuse’).
3 Plug in the appliance and press the on/off button.Wait for approx. 2
minutesuntilthe‘ironready’lightstopsashing.
4 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing. Keep the steam
triggerpressedcontinuouslywhenyoumovetheironoverthefabric.
Note: When you use the appliance for the rst time or after replacement of
the ANTI-CALC cartridge, it may take 10 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.

Steam boost function
- Use the steam boost function to remove stubborn creases. Press the
steam trigger twice quickly.
Vertical steam ironing
Hotsteamisemittedfromtheiron.Neverattempttoremovecreases
from a garment that someone is wearing. 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.
Putting down the iron during ironing
- During ironing, you can place the iron either on the iron platform
or horizontally on the ironing board. Thanks to the OptimalTemp
technology, 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.

ECObuttongoeson.
2 Toswitchbacktothe‘OptimalTemp’setting,presstheECObutton

not been used for 5 minutes, to save energy.
