Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit

This user manual contains information about the surprising features of this

iron and some tips to make ironing easier and more enjoyable.

This iron is equipped with a special sensor-controlled handle and automatic

energy-saving technology.

While you iron, the sensor in the handle ensures that the iron produces the

optimal amount of steam. As 90% of the energy consumption of an iron

is used to create steam, energy consumption is optimised by optimising

the steam output. When you intuitively put more force on the handle to

remove stubborn creases, the iron automatically produces more steam.

When you do not press the handle, when you lift the iron and when the

iron is standing on its heel or on its soleplate without any movement, the

automatic energy-saving technology limits the steam output to reduce

energy consumption.

We hope you enjoy using this iron.

Important
