Setup

2. Filling the Water Tank
The iron features a large 1.8L detachable water tank for easy refilling. Remove the water tank from the base unit. Fill the tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' indication. Reinsert the water tank securely into the base unit.

Operating Instructions

Press the power button on the control panel. The iron will begin to heat up. The indicator light will signal when the iron is ready for use.
2. ActiveSense Technology
The Philips 9000 Series features ActiveSense technology, which uses a built-in camera and artificial intelligence to identify the fabric type. It automatically adjusts the ideal temperature and steam amount for optimal results, eliminating the need for manual temperature settings.
3. Steam Functions
- Continuous Steam: The iron provides a strong, continuous steam output of up to 180g/min, suitable for tackling various fabrics.
- Steam Boost: For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button to activate a powerful shot of steam up to 750g. This is ideal for thicker fabrics.
- Vertical Steaming: The lightweight iron design allows for effective vertical steaming of hanging garments, curtains, and delicate fabrics. Hold the iron vertically and press the steam button.
4. Safety Features

- Automatic Shut-off: For safety and energy saving, the iron automatically shuts off when left unattended for a period of time.
- Safe Carry Lock: The iron can be securely locked to its base unit for safe and easy transport.
Maintenance

The Easy De-Calc Plus system continuously collects limescale. An indicator light and audio signal will alert you when the system needs emptying. Follow the instructions in the quick start guide or on the Philips support website for the specific de-calc procedure.
2. Cleaning the Soleplate
To clean the SteamGlide Elite Soleplate, ensure the iron is cool and unplugged. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner if necessary. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
3. Water Tank Cleaning
Periodically rinse the detachable water tank with clean water. Do not use detergents or cleaning agents inside the water tank.
