• 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.

• The ejected steam is hot and therefore

hazardous. Never direct the steam
towards people. 

• 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 only be replaced by
Philips or their service representative, as
special tools and/or parts are required.

• This appliance is not intended for

use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
