Important
• Please read these instructions in
conjunction with the illustrations before
using the appliance.
• Before using for the first time, check if
the voltage rating on the typeplate
corresponds to the mains voltage in your
home.
• Never use the appliance if it is damaged
in any way.
• Before using for the first time remove
any sticker or protective foil from the
soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft
cloth.
• When you have finished ironing, and also
when leaving the iron even for a short
while:
- set the steam control to position O;
- place the iron on the stand;
- remove the mains plug from the wall
socket.
• Take care that children cannot touch the
iron when hot and that they cannot pull
the mains cord.
• Remove the mains plug from the wall
socket before filling the iron with water
or pouring out the remaining water after
use.
• Never immerse the iron or the stand in
water.
• Some parts of the iron have been slightly
greased and as a result the iron may
slightly smoke when switched on for the
first time. This (harmless) phenomenon
will cease after a short while.
• Do not put vinegar or other descaling
agents into the water reservoir.
• Do not use chemically descaled water.
• The cordset should not be allowed to
touch the soleplate when it is hot.
• Regularly check if the mains cord is still
in a good and safe condition.
If the mains cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
original type only. Please apply to your
Philips dealer or to the Philips
organisation in your country for
replacement.
• The ejected steam is hot and therefore
hazardous. Never direct the steam
towards people.
