Introduction
Thank you for buying this Philips steam generator.
 - The new Philips PerfectCare 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.
 -
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 confirmed 
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, high amount of steam at this optimal 
temperature would have led to water leakage. We 
developed a unique patented cyclonic chamber to 
maintain high-pressure 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 time on heating up and cooling 
down. It is faster, 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. R1101. In United Kingdom, 
Eire, Hong Kong and India, the Woolmark trademark is a 
Certification trademark.
