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
