Philips Perfectcare OptimalTEMP range has one ideal temperature setting for all ironable fabrics, from denim to silk. No need to pre-sort your ironing, adjust the settings or wait for the iron to heat up or cool down. Each iron or steam generator in this range produces a huge amount of steam power to tackle even the toughest of creases in cottons and linens, helping you dress to impress in half the time for any occasion. Perfectcare has been tested and approved by Woolmark.
Most people believe that the hotter the iron, the better the crease removal. But the higher the temperature, the more likely you will scorch delicate fabrics or even burn them. Philips product development team have discovered that it's not the temperature that gets rid of creases, it's the steam.
Previously, for an iron to generate consistent steam output, you needed a hot soleplate, of up to 260 degrees – if it's too cool, the steam drips or is weak and ineffective. However, Philips have found that by improving the design you can achieve the ideal balance of soleplate temperature, 130 degrees, and consistently powerful steam, without having to change the settings or wait for the iron to heat up or cool down. This is OptimalTEMP Technology.
You can achieve the ideal ironing results on any ironable fabric from thick denim to delicate silk, burn proof guaranteed.
Philips is a No. 1 Global Ironing Brand* with over 65 years expertise in ironing technology and innovation.
1) The smart control processor maintains the ideal soleplate temperature scientifically tested on all ironable fabrics from denim to silk without risk of burning.
2) The HeatFlow cyclonic technology creates an even steam and temperature balance. This fast steam effectively loosens fabric layers and smooths out stubborn creases in thick materials such as linen and pure cotton. This iron offers the ultimate combination of speed & convenience.
This technology has been tested and approved by independent textile experts on the most delicate fabrics like silk, cashmere, wool and polyester.
This iron promises to never burn your garments again, safely rest this iron flat down on the ironing board or clothing, rather than the heel rest, to reduce any risk of repetitive strain on your wrist.
Steam output is measured in grams of weight as it leaves the soleplate. The heavier the output, the deeper the steam reaches into fabric layers for longer lasting crease removal. This steam iron has a powerful continuous steam output of 45 g per minute for consistently fast results and a 180g steam boost for deep crease removal.
The iron can be used vertically and the steam is powerful enough to be used to iron out creases from curtains or hanging clothes for example suit jackets or dresses that might need a refresh.
Philips SteamGlide Plus soleplate is durable, scratch resistant and provides a superior glide on all fabrics for effortless ironing. The protective material on the plate makes it scratch-resistant so your iron can stay pristine for longer.
Double active calc clean is a smart combination of permanent anti-scale pills, and a regular self-clean button to reduce scale build-up. This will give longer lasting steam performance and extend the lifetime of your iron.
No more waiting for your iron to heat up – Perfectcare has a fast heat-up time and is ready to use with maximum steam in just 2 minutes. Turn it on, prepare your ironing area and get ready to go.
To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not been moved for 2 minutes in horizontal position, or 3 minutes when left standing on its heel. To reactivate your iron, press the steam trigger and the iron will heat up again.
Power efficient at 2400 W, this steam generator uses the optimal amount of energy without increasing your energy usage.
