Using the appliance
Type of water to use
Note: The iron may give off some steam when you use it for the first time. This stops after a short while.
Type of water to use
The appliance is suitable to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard water, we recommend that you mix an equal amount of tap water with distilled or demineralized water. This will prevent fast scale build up and prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.

| My Philips Steam Iron does not remove creases. | The temperature is set too low. | For irons with a temperature dial, please set the temperature according to the fabric that you are ironing. You can use the following table as a reference.Note: For some fabrics such as silk, wool, cotton and linen, steam would be needed to remove creases more efficiently. |
| Steam is not used. Switch the steam selector to or 2-cloECOettingYour Philips Iron does not produce steam when the temperature dial is at the 1-dot position, SYNTHETIC or Calc-Clean setting. You can get more steam by changing to a stronger steam setting, or using the steam boost function to help remove tough wrinkles.To remove creases in the vertical position, press and release the steam boost trigger or button to release a shot of steam. Holding down the trigger or button will not produce a continuous steam boost.Note that repeated usage of the steam boost in a short period of time may cause spitting or a reduction in the amount of steam produced. If this happens, wait for a short while before using the steam boost function again. | ||
| The steam boost in my Philips Steam Iron is not working. | The steam boost trigger has not been pressed and released. | To activate the steam boost in your Philips Steam Iron, press and release the steam boost button/trigger. Holding onto the steam boost button/trigger does not produce continuous steam boost.

| There is water in the soleplate. | Sometimes, there might still be some remaining water in your iron's soleplate after the last usage. This water will evaporate when your iron's soleplate heats up, and the steam generated may look like smoke. This is normal and should dissipate shortly. | |
| My iron is still producing smoke even after checking the above. | There could be an issue with the iron, we recommend you to contact us. | |
| There are water droplets/leaking on my garment during ironing. | First time usage. If you experience leaking/spitting during your first usage, perform the Calc Clean function once. If this does not resolve the leaking on your next use, we recommend you to contact us. | |
| The steam boost function was used too often within a short period of time. | Continue ironing in horizontal position and wait a while before you use the steam boost function again. | |
| There is a build up of scale/calcification in the iron. | If there is brown water or white flakes coming out of the iron, this may indicate a build up of calcification in the iron. Perform the Calc Clean function to clear this. If you live in an area with hard water, we recommend to use distilled water (or 50% distilled and 50% tap water) and perform the calc clean function once a month to prolong the lifetime of the iron.Note: the presence of white flakes on the very first use of the iron is normal. | |

To prevent this, you can do the following:1 Select a lower steam setting than the setting you have been using or use steam during the first ironing strokes and then finish up with the dry-ironing strokes.2 You can also put an extra layer of cloth between the ironing board and the ironing board cover to minimize condensation.3 Replace the ironing board cover if the sponge material has worn out. | |
| Small droplets/wet spots that occur during start of ironing session. | If small droplets or wet spots occur during the start of the ironing session, this is normal as water might have collected in the soleplate from the previous ironing session, and the iron was used before it had fully heated up. Iron over the droplets/wet spots We recommend that the iron be stored in a vertical position with the steam setting set to no steam mode/dry ironing mode before it is unplugged to minimize the collection of water in the soleplate. | |
| The iron leaks after ironing. | If your iron leaks after unplugging/during storage, it may be because water has collected in the soleplate from leaving the steam setting on before the anti-drip feature activates. We recommend to set the steam selector to no steam mode/dry ironing mode before unplugging the iron. Empty the water tank and place the iron in the vertical position when cooling down/for storage. | |

| The iron is not ready to steam. | Your iron is ready to produce steam when the indicator light switches off. | |
| The steam setting is set to no steam mode/dry ironing mode | Aways ensure that the temperature dial is at the 2-dot ●3 ●lot or ●te ●MEN setting. Then, select a steam setting (ECO setting and 2-cloud setting) on the steam selector at the top of the handle.Ironing with steam with the temperature dial at the 1-dot or SYNTHETIC setting may cause wet spots/leaking as the temperature of the iron may not be hot enough to convert water to steam | |
| My Philips Steam Iron does not remove creases. | The temperature is set too low. | For irons with a temperature dial, please set the temperature according to the fabric that you are ironing. You can use the following table as a reference.Note: For some fabrics such as silk, wool, cotton and linen, steam would be needed to remove creases more efficiently. |
| Steam is not used. Switch the steam selector to or 2-cloEcoettingYour Philips Iron does not produce steam when the temperature dial is at the 1-dot position, SYNTHETIC or Calc-Clean setting. You can get more steam by changing to a stronger steam setting, or using the steam boost function to help remove tough wrinkles.To remove creases in the vertical position, press and release the steam boost trigger or button to release a shot of steam. Holding down the trigger or button will not produce a continuous steam boost.Note that repeated usage of the steam boost in a short period of time may cause spitting or a reduction in the amount of steam produced. If this happens, wait for a short while before using the steam boost function again. | ||
| The steam boost in my Philips Steam Iron is not working. | The steam boost trigger has not been pressed and released. | To activate the steam boost in your Philips Steam Iron, press and release the steam boost button/trigger. Holding onto the steam boost button/trigger does not produce continuous steam boost. You may need to press the steam boost button/trigger several times on the first use for the pump to draw sufficient water.Note: We recommend to use the steam boost at the 3-dot temperature setting or higher. Using the steam boost at lower temperature settings may result in wet spots forming as the temperature of the iron may not be high enough to convert water into steam. |
| The steam boost function was used too often within a short period of time. | When you use the steam boost function of your Philips Steam Iron too often within a short period, the steam boost function will stop working for a while. In this case, please wait a couple of minutes before you use the steam boost again.For stubborn wrinkles, we recommend to use the steam boost with the steam setting at the no steam mode/dry ironing mode for the best effect. | |
| The iron is not ready to steam. | The iron is ready to steam when the indicator light switches off. | |
| My Philips Steam Iron produces smoke when heating up. | First usage. During production, some parts of the iron have been slightly greased. As a result of this, your iron may produce some smoke when it is switched on for the first few times, this is normal and should dissipate shortly. | |
| There is water in the soleplate. | Sometimes, there might still be some remaining water in your iron's soleplate after the last usage. This water will evaporate when your iron's soleplate heats up, and the steam generated may look like smoke. This is normal and should dissipate shortly. | |
| My iron is still producing smoke even after checking the above. | There could be an issue with the iron, we recommend you to contact us. | |
| There are water droplets/leaking on my garment during ironing. | First time usage. If you experience leaking/spitting during your first usage, perform the Calc Clean function once. If this does not resolve the leaking on your next use, we recommend you to contact us. | |
| The steam boost function was used too often within a short period of time. | Continue ironing in horizontal position and wait a while before you use the steam boost function again. | |
| There is a build up of scale/calcification in the iron. | If there is brown water or white flakes coming out of the iron, this may indicate a build up of calcification in the iron. Perform the Calc Clean function to clear this. If you live in an area with hard water, we recommend to use distilled water (or 50% distilled and 50% tap water) and perform the calc clean function once a month to prolong the lifetime of the iron.Note: the presence of white flakes on the very first use of the iron is normal. | |
| You have added other chemicals or additives into the water tank. | Fragrances/oils/chemicals/additives/descaling solutions should not be added into the water tank as they are damaging to the device. Please rinse the water tank, fill it up with water and descale your iron. | |
| You have not closed the water tank lid properly. | Close the lid firmly after filling. | |
| Steam has condensed onto the ironing board. | Steam may condense on the board cover, particularly when using irons that produce powerful levels of steam for a prolonged period of time. This can look like your iron is leaking from the soleplate. To prevent this, you can do the following:1 Select a lower steam setting than the setting you have been using or use steam during the first ironing strokes and then finish up with the dry-ironing strokes.2 You can also put an extra layer of cloth between the ironing board and the ironing board cover to minimize condensation.3 Replace the ironing board cover if the sponge material has worn out. | |
| Small droplets/wet spots that occur during start of ironing session. | If small droplets or wet spots occur during the start of the ironing session, this is normal as water might have collected in the soleplate from the previous ironing session, and the iron was used before it had fully heated up. Iron over the droplets/wet spots We recommend that the iron be stored in a vertical position with the steam setting set to no steam mode/dry ironing mode before it is unplugged to minimize the collection of water in the soleplate. | |
| The iron leaks after ironing. | If your iron leaks after unplugging/during storage, it may be because water has collected in the soleplate from leaving the steam setting on before the anti-drip feature activates. We recommend to set the steam selector to no steam mode/dry ironing mode before unplugging the iron. Empty the water tank and place the iron in the vertical position when cooling down/for storage. | |
| The iron leaves a shine or an imprint on the garment. | The surface to be ironed was uneven. | The iron is safe to use on all ironable garments. The shine or imprint is not permanent and disappears when you wash the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or folds. You can also place a cotton cloth over the area to be ironed to avoid imprints. |
| You have set a higher temperature than recommended for the fabric type. | Using a higher than recommended temperature setting for the fabric type may cause the iron to burn the fabric. Check your garment and that your iron is set to the correct temperature setting before ironing. The iron is safe to use on all ironable garments with the correct temperature setting. The shine or imprint is not permanent and disappears when you wash the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or folds. You can also place a cotton cloth over the area to be ironed to avoid imprints. | |
| The iron has stopped heating up. | Auto shut-off has been activated. | When your iron has not been used in 30 seconds in the horizontal position or 8 minutes in the vertical position), the iron will automatically shut-off. This is indicated by a constant blinking of the indicator light. To re-activate the iron, move the iron and the indicator light will light up again, indicating that the iron is heating up.If your iron has a dedicated Auto Shut Off light, the ASO light will blink when the iron enters the ASO state.
