Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet from the

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.
