Exclusive technology from Philips
OptimalTEMP technology
The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without
adjusting the iron temperature and without sorting your garments.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 2) without putting back to the
iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
This iron has been approved by The Woolmark Company
Pty Ltd for the ironing of wool-only products, provided that
the garments are ironed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
iron. R1701. The Woolmark symbol is a certification mark in
many countries.
Compact ProVelocity technology
This technology delivers continuous steam that penetrates deeply to remove creases easily. At the
same time, it keeps the appliance more compact and lighter than traditional steam generators, for
easier storage.
Preparing for use
Type of water to use
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard
water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized
water to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
