Technical information

- Rated voltage: 220-240V
- Rated frequency: 50-60 Hz
Possible cause
The rubber sealing ring of the
EASY DE-CALC knob is worn.
Impurities or chemicals present
in the water have deposited in
the steam vents and/or on the
soleplate.
Too much scale and minerals
have accumulated inside the
appliance.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
you were ironing over a seam
or a fold in the garment.
There is not enough water in
the water tank (the 'water tank
empty' light flashes).
The appliance is not hot
enough to produce steam.
You did not press the steam
trigger.
The water tank is not placed
in the appliance properly.
The appliance is not switched
on.
The auto-off function is
activated automatically when
the appliance has not been
used for more than 10 minutes.
Water is pumped into the
boiler inside the appliance.
This is normal.
Solution
Contact an authorised Philips service
centre for a new EASY DE-CALC knob.
Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Descale the appliance regularly (see
chapter 'Important - DESCALING').
PerfectCare is safe on all garments. The
shine or imprint is not permanent and will
come off if you wash the garment. Avoid
ironing over seams or folds or you can
place a cotton cloth over the area to be
ironed to avoid imprints at seams and folds.
Fill the water tank (see chapter 'Using your
appliance', section 'Filling the water tank').
Wait until the 'iron ready' light on the iron
lights up continuously.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed
while you iron.
Slide the water tank back into the appliance
firmly ('click').
Insert the plug in the wall socket and press
the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Press the power on/off button to switch on
the appliance again.
If the pumping sound continues nonstop,
switch off the appliance and remove the
plug from the wall socket. Contact an
authorised Philips service centre.
