Introduction
Thanks to its compact, lightweight design, this iron is ideal for quick
ironing jobs or for taking it along in its handy pouch when you are
travelling.
The iron can safely be used at all mains voltages (110-120V/220-240V),
as it is equipped with a voltage selector. If needed, suitable adapter
plugs are available from Philips dealers, service centres, hotel receptions
or hardware shops.

Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and
save them for future reference.
◗Check if the dual voltage selector has been set to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
You can use a coin to adjust the voltage selector to the local mains
voltage.
◗It is advisable to always reset the selector to position 220/240
after use. This will prevent damage if the iron is inadvertently
connected to the wrong voltage.
◗Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance
itself shows visible damage or if the appliance has been dropped.
◗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.
ENGLISH6

◗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.
◗Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
◗This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
◗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.
◗When you have finished ironing, when you clean the appliance
and also when you leave the iron even for a short while: put the
iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
◗Always place and use the iron on a stable, level and horizontal
surface.
◗This appliance is not intended for regular use.
Before first use
1Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate and
clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.
This will cease after a short while.
Preparing for use
Unfolding the handgrip
1Unfold the handgrip by pulling it up ('click') (fig. 2).

(fig. 3).
3Place the iron on its heel.

Tips
- If the article consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. If, for example, the fabric consists of 60% polyester
and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated
for polyester (2).
- 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.
- Fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be ironed in one
direction only (along with the nap) while applying very little
pressure.
- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing
temperature, i.e. those made of synthetic materials.
Using the appliance
Ironing
1Select the required ironing temperature (see section 'Setting the
temperature').
2Let the iron heat up for approx. two minutes.
3Start ironing (fig. 4).
ENGLISH8

BIroning will be easier and will take less time if you moisten the article
first, for example by spraying some water onto it.
Ironing without ironing board
When you are travelling, an ironing board will often not be at hand. In
that case, spread a folded terrycloth towel on a firm, flat surface.
Make sure that the surface is heat- and moisture-resistant. Do not use a
glass or plastic surface.
Cleaning
1Put the iron on its heel.
2Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
3Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.
Storage
1Put the iron on its heel (fig. 5).
2Make sure the iron is unplugged and has cooled down.
3Push the handgrip support in the direction of the arrow (fig. 6).
4Press down the handgrip (fig. 7).
5Store the appliance in the pouch.
Environment
◗Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household
waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection
point for recycling. By doing this you will help to preserve the
environment (fig. 8).
