Philips sGC4711/07, Manual

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in combination with a steam setting 

and a temperature setting between  

2

 and MAX. 

Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam and/or at low temperature 

settings. However, ironing at low temperatures without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function 

switched on will not damage the iron.
Note: The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on the ironing temperature.

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function to moisten the article to be ironed. This helps remove stubborn 

creases.

 1 

 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (Fig. 13).

Steam boost function

A steam boost from the special Steam Tip soleplate helps remove stubborn creases. The steam 

boost enhances the distribution of steam into every part of the article to be ironed. 

The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings between 

3

  and MAX. 

 1 

 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 1).

You can also use the steam boost function when you hold the iron in vertical position. This is 

useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.  (Fig. 15)

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when 

the temperature is too low, to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens, 

you may hear a sound. 

automatic shut-off function 

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a 

while.

Specific types only: The tank light flashes to indicate that the iron has been switched off by the 

automatic shut-off function (Fig. 16).

Specific types only: The red auto-off light flashes to indicate that the iron has been switched off 

by the automatic shut-off function.

To let the iron heat up again, pick up the iron or move it slightly. The tank light (specific types 

only) or auto-off light (specific types only) stops flashing.

Delicate fabric protector (specific types only)

The delicate fabric protector protects delicate fabrics from heat, damage and shiny patches.

With the delicate fabric protector you can iron delicate fabrics (silk, wool and nylon) at temperature 

settings 

3

 to MAX in combination with all steam functions available on the iron. 

The delicate fabric protector reduces the soleplate temperature instantly, thus allowing you to iron 

delicate fabrics safely. 

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 is not visible when you wear or use the article.

 1 

 Put the iron on the delicate fabric protector (‘click’) (Fig. 17).
