English

Important
• Please read these instructions for use carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before
using the appliance.
• Never use the appliance if damaged in any way. Regularly check if the mains cord and the
supply hose are still in a good and safe condition.
If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by Philips or their
service representative, as special tools and/or parts are required.
• Check if the voltage rating on the typeplate (under the steam tank) corresponds to the mains
voltage in your home.
• Only connect the appliance to an earthed mains wall socket.
• Never immerse the iron or the steam tank in water.
• Never fill the water tank with perfumes, vinegar, descaling agents or other chemicals.
• Take care that children cannot touch the iron when hot and that they cannot pull the mains
cord or supply hose.
• When leaving the iron, even for a short while, always remove the mains plug from the wall
socket and place the iron on the stand.
• Always place the steam tank on a stable flat and horizontal surface. Do not place the steam
tank on the soft part of the ironing board.
• Always place the iron on the iron stand. Do not place the hot iron on the steam tank, the
supply hose or the mains cord. The cordset should not be allowed to touch the soleplate
when it is hot.
• The appliance is equipped with an electric pump. This pump can be heard from time to time
when automatically refilling the boiler system. This is quite normal.
• The iron stand can become hot during use. If you want to move it, touch only the two lateral
edges of the stand.
