Introduction
Thank you for buying this Philips appliance.
- The new Philips PerfectCare Xpress steam iron offers you an innovative
way to iron your garments. We all know the fuss with traditional irons:
choosing the right temperature for your tough and delicate fabrics,
waiting for the iron to warm up and cool down to avoid the risk of
damaging clothes with a too hot iron. Those hassles are things of the
past with the new Philips PerfectCare Xpress steam iron.
- In principle, wrinkle removal is done by transferring heat to
fabric. Historically, this was done with a very hot soleplate. Then steam
was added to enhance heat transfer, thus making ironing much faster.
Our research conrmed that the best way to remove wrinkles effectively
is a perfect combination of intense steam and optimal soleplate
temperature. The key to effective wrinkle removal is the steam, not the
soleplate temperature. The soleplate temperature needs to be just above
the steam temperature to remove any moisture. This is the optimal
temperature.
- In the past, a high amount of steam at this optimal temperature would
have led to water leakage. We developed a unique steam chamber that
generates a consistent output of moisture-rich steam that penetrates
deep into the fabric for fast ironing with no risk of water leakage.
- Ironing is now truly simple - no temperature adjustment, no scorching,
no waiting for heating up and cooling down. Ironing takes less time, no
matter who does the ironing. With this OptimalTemp technology, every
single garment can be ironed effectively and safely.
- 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. R1201. In the United Kingdom, Eire, Hong Kong
