Using the appliance
Filling the water tank
Note: Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with very hard water,
fast scale build-up may occur. In this case, it is recommended to mix 50% distilled water and 50% tap water to
prolong the lifetime of your appliance.
Note: Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other
chemicals in the water tank.

vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
Note: Regularly rinse the water tank with tap water. Empty the water tank after rinsing it.
Calc-Clean function
iMPORTAnT: To prolong the lifetime of your appliance and to maintain good steaming
performance, use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. if the water in your area
is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean
function more frequently.
1
Make sure the appliance is unplugged and the steam control is set to
t
(dry ironing). (Fig. 2)
2
Fill the water tank to the MAX indication (Fig. 3).

t
(dry ironing). (Fig. 2)
Note: Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water that comes out of the iron still contains scale particles.
After the Calc-Clean process
1
Plug in the iron. Let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.
2

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you
are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of
frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country (see the worldwide
guarantee leaflet for contact details).
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Water drips from the
soleplate or wet spots
appear on the garment
during ironing.
The set temperature is too
low for steam ironing.
Set an ironing temperature that is
suitable for steam ironing. See table 1.
You have put an additive in
the water tank.
Rinse the water tank and do not put any
additive in the water tank.
The steam boost function
does not work properly
(water leaks out of the
soleplate).
You have used the steam
boost function too often
within a very short period.
Wait a while before you use the steam
boost function again.
You have used the steam
boost function at a too low
temperature.
Set an ironing temperature at which
the steam boost function can be used
(
2
to MAX).
Flakes and impurities come
out of the soleplate during
ironing.
Hard water forms flakes
inside the soleplate.
Use the Calc-Clean function
(see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’,
section ‘Calc-Clean function’).
Water drips from the
soleplate after the iron has
cooled down or has been
stored.
You have put the iron in
horizontal position while
there was still water in the
water tank.
Empty the water tank and set the steam
control to position ‘dry’ after use. Store
the iron on its heel.
Water leaks from the cap of
the filling opening.
You have overfilled the
water tank.
Do not fill the water tank beyond the
MAX indication. Pour excess water out
of the water tank.
When I push the steam
control to the turbo steam
position, the steam control
jumps back.
You did not keep the steam
control in the turbo steam
position.
If you want to use turbo steam, you have
to keep the steam control in the turbo
steam position continuously. For other
steam settings, this is not necessary.
