Powerful steam for ultimate crease removal
An ultra-fast ironing experience can be yours with revolutionary technology. The powerful and continuous steam tackles even tough creases, and thicker fabrics are smoothed out with ease and speed. Plus there's an extra steam boost if needed, perfect for vertical steaming or stubborn creases.
Large detachable water tank for easy refilling
The detachable water tank allows you to easily refill anytime without stopping the appliance. It has a large filling hole so you can simply fill the water tank under the tap. It has a 1.8 l capacity, so you get the convenience of up to 2 hours of continuous use, with no need to top-up the tank.
Save energy with ECO mode
ECO mode allows you to save energy without compromising your ironing results. The ECO mode uses a reduced amount of steam, but still a sufficient amount to iron all your garments.
Go from ironing jeans to silk; no need to change temperature setting
With OptimalTEMP technology you'll no longer have to waste time changing temperature settings, waiting for the temperature to adjust or pre-sorting clothes. Iron all fabrics, from jeans to silk, with no burning guaranteed thanks to the perfect combination of temperature and continuous powerful steam.
Safe and secure carry lock
Your steam generator iron includes a safe carry lock, which securely fastens your iron to its base without the risk of it slipping or someone touching the hot soleplate. It ensures safe and easy transportation around the house, to and from storage.
Safe to leave the hot soleplate on the ironing board
Innovative OptimalTEMP technology guarantees no burning on any ironable fabric. As well as the reassurance this provides whilst ironing, it also means you can leave the hot iron soleplate directly on your cotton ironing board without causing any damage. This helps to reduce any discomfort to your wrists, as you won't need to lift the iron to and from its base as often.
Philips' best gliding and most scratch-resistant soleplate
The T-ionic Glide is Philips' most premium soleplate, promising superior gliding for faster, effortless ironing. It has a stainless steel base which is harder and more durable than aluminium, with an integrated titanium oxide layer for advanced scratch resistance. Plus the carefully designed shape and vents provide even better steam distribution for faster crease removal.
Lightweight and comfortable to handle
Your steam generator iron is amazingly light and comfortable to handle. It glides easily over your garments, removes the toughest creases in no time and reduces strain on your wrist. It also makes vertical steaming very easy and effective: you can now comfortably and effectively remove the creases in your delicate items, such as silk blouses, dresses and jackets, and even difficult-to-iron garments with pleats, decorations or buttons.
Easy and efficient descaling system
Regular descaling protects your iron and ensures you'll continue to get the very best steam performance. The exclusively designed and ideally positioned Easy De-Calc Plus function provides the ideal way to get rid of limescale and extend the lifespan of your steam generator iron. The iron will remind you with both light and sound when it's time to clean and descale. Then when your appliance is cold, simply remove the Easy De-Calc knob, collect the dirty water and scale into a cup and discard.
Automatic switch-off for safety and energy saving
The safety auto-off function automatically switches off your steam generator iron if it has not been used for a few minutes. This saves energy and gives you peace of mind about safety.
