Philips Centrale vapeur haute pression - Manual (Page 8)

Before first use
Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This
is normal and stops after a short while.
Note: Some particles may come out of the soleplate when you use the iron for
the first time. This is normal; the particles are harmless and stop coming out of
the iron after a short while.
Note: When you switch on the appliance, the steam generator may produce a
pumping sound. This is normal; the sound tells you that water is pumped into
the steam generator.
1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate and clean
the soleplate with a soft cloth.
preparing for use
1 Place the steam generator on a stable and level surface, e.g. on the
hard part of the ironing board or on a table.
Filling the detachable water tank
You can fill the water tank at any time during use.
Do not put hot water, perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing
aids or other chemicals in the water tank.
Do not overfill the water tank, otherwise water may spill out of the
filling opening when you reinsert the water tank.

Note: If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an
equal amount of distilled water.

Note: If the water tank is not properly placed, the iron does not produce any
steam.
