For optimal safety, read these instructions carefully and look at the
illustrations before you start using the appliance.
- Do not put perfume, vinegar, descaling agents or other chemicals in
the water tank.

the mains cord and the supply hose are still undamaged and safe.

replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips, as
special tools and/or parts are required.

corresponds to the mains voltage in your home before you connect
the appliance.
- Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
- Never immerse the iron or the steam tank in water.
