Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the steam generator iron and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.

Maintenance

Easy De-Calc System

To maintain optimal steam performance and extend the lifespan of your iron, regular descaling is crucial. Your Philips PerfectCare 7000 Series is equipped with the Easy De-Calc system.

1. When the Easy De-Calc indicator light flashes and the appliance beeps, it's time to perform the descaling procedure.
2. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and has cooled down for at least 2 hours.
3. Place the appliance on the edge of a table or sink.
4. Hold a cup (at least 350 ml) under the Easy De-Calc knob.
5. Turn the Easy De-Calc knob counter-clockwise and pull it out.
6. Allow the water and scale particles to drain into the cup.
7. When no more water comes out, reinsert the Easy De-Calc knob and turn it clockwise to fasten it.

Perform this procedure regularly, or when prompted by the indicator, to prevent scale buildup.

Cleaning the Soleplate

• Allow the iron to cool down completely.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner, if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the soleplate.
