The new Philips PerfectCare Azur steam iron offers you an innovative way to iron garments. [. . . ] Note:The steam iron is not switched off completely when it is in Safety Auto off mode. 10 ENGLISH Ironing tips Minimising wrinkles while drying Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out the laundry properly after washing. Put the garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with less wrinkles. Shirt ironing Start with the time-consuming parts such as collar, cuff links and sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back. By doing this, you prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming ones. Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and iron from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a crisp finish. Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and faster ironing. Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning 1 Set the steam slider to the ‘no steam’ position, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down. 2 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent. To keep the soleplate smooth,  avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate. 3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. 4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it. Calc-Clean System -- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced. € -- The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron. -- The Calc-Clean reminder light reminds you to use the Calc-Clean function after a certain period of use. Tip: Use the Calc-Clean function every month (for specific types only, without the Calc-Clean reminder light). ENGLISH Calc-Clean reminder light (specific types only) -- 11 After a certain period of use, the colour of the SmartLight changes to amber. [. . . ] Hard water with impurities or chemicals has formed flakes inside the soleplate. Start ironing again only when the SmartLight lights up steadily. Use the Calc-Clean function one or more times (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’, section ‘Calc-Clean System’). Check the mains cord, the plug and the wall socket. [. . . ]
