experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

you fill or empty the water tank and also when you leave the iron
even for a short while: put the iron on the stand, switch the appliance
off and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
If steam escapes from under the Calc-Clean rinsing cap when the

Clean rinsing cap. If steam continues to escape when the appliance
is heating up, switch the appliance off and contact a service centre
authorised by Philips.
Do not use any other cap on the steam tank than the cap that has
,
been supplied with the appliance, as this cap also functions as a safety
