With OptimalTemp and 330 g Pressurised Silent Steam Boost
A revolution in carefree ironing、 Philips PerfectCare Expert incorporates OptimalTEMP technology、 giving you a simple、 safe ironing experience. With just one enhanced temperature setting for all ironable fabrics、 from denim to silk、 there’s no need to pre-sort your ironing、 adjust the settings or wait for the iron to heat up or cool down.

PerfectCare AquaSilence promises to never burn or shine your garments ever again – you can safely rest this iron flat down on the ironing board or clothing、 rather than the heel rest、 with no risk to your clothes. This also makes it more comfortable to use and reduces the risk of repetitive strain on your wrist. In addition、 PerfectCare AquaSilence delivers powerful steam and effective crease removal with minimal sound、 so you can watch TV or listen to music whilst doing your ironing and begin to enjoy your routine. The Easy De-Calc system is hassle-free and ensures effective scale removal to extend the life of your steam generator. It’s so simple to do、 it takes less than a minute – so you don’t have to worry about calc stains on your clothes.

The large 2.5 L water tank provides over 3.5 hours of ironing perfect for ironing larger loads、 non-stop. The safe carry lock securely fastens your iron to its base without risk of slipping、 so it’s easy to carry around and store. Truly simple ironing.

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 soleplate heated to up 260 degrees – if it's too cool、 the steam drips or is weak and ineffective. However、 Philips have found you can achieve the better balance of soleplate temperature - 130 degrees and consistently powerful steam、 without having to change the settings. This is OptimalTEMP Technology.

You can achieve optimal ironing results with no risk of fabric burns. Go from thick denim to delicate silk、 burn proof assurance.

Highlights

Revolutionary OptimalTEMP No Burns Ironing Technology
1) The enhanced smart chip sets the soleplate temperature scientifically that is 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. This iron offers the ultimate combination of speed and convenience.

Approved by Experts
This technology has been tested and approved by independent textile experts on the most delicate fabrics like silk、 cashmere、 wool and polyester.

Never Burn Your Clothes Again
The PerfectCare Expert 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.

Powerful Pressurised Steam for 2x Faster Crease Removal*
Pressurised steam is measured in bars. The higher the bar pressure the more powerful the steam output from the soleplate which penetrates into the fabric layers、 loosens deep creases and removes them with ease. This steam generator has 6.5 bars of steam pressure、 up to 120 g/min of continuous steam and a 340 g steam boost ideal for getting through large ironing loads and stubborn creases、 fast.
