Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference. Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. Check the cord regularly for possible damage. Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself is damaged. If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Never leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the mains. Never immerse the iron in water. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched. Do not allow the cord to come into contact with the soleplate when it is hot. When you have finished ironing, when you clean the appliance, when you fill or empty the water tank and also when you leave the iron even for a short while: set the steam control to position 0, put the iron on its heel and remove the mains plug from the wall socket. This appliance is intended for household use only.

Before first use

Press the cassette release button and remove the anti-calc cassette from the water tank. Enter the current date (day/month/year) on the sticker on the cassette. Reinsert the cassette into the water tank.
Fill the water tank with tap water (using a jar/bottle) up to the MAX indication.
Set the temperature dial to MAX.
4 Set the steam control to position 4. The temperature pilot light goes on.
When the pilot light goes out, squeeze the steam trigger under the handgrip continuously. The iron starts producing steam after about 2 minutes. 6
Pass the iron over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residues from the soleplate. The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.This will cease after a short while.
Preparing for use How to use the rubber mat and the suspension hook
The rubber mat allows you to put down the hot iron during ironing. The suspension hook allows you to suspend the water tank from the ironing board.
The rubber mat can be placed either on the water tank or on the ironing board.
If you want to put the iron on the water tank, always put the rubber mat on the water tank.
Never put the iron on the water tank without the rubber mat.
The water tank can be suspended from the metal tray of most ironing boards by means of the suspension hook. Pull the suspension hook out the water tank and attach it to the metal tray of the ironing board. Remove the rubber mat from the water tank and place it on the ironing board before suspending the water tank from the suspension hook. Do not place the rubber mat on a table or any other surface that may be damaged by heat.

Filling the water tank

Never immerse the iron in water. 1 Unplug the appliance and make sure you don't squeeze the steam trigger.
If the water tank is in horizontal position, fill the it up to the MAX level indicated on the side or in the filling opening.
If the water tank is in vertical position, fill it up to the MAX indication on the side. Do not exceed this level. Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing additives chemically descaled water or other chemicals in the water tank.

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on the rubber mat.
Set the required ironing temperature by turning the temperature dial to the appropriate position. Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature: - 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester) - 1 Silk - 2 Wool - 3 Cotton, linen If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article. Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres. Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

When the amber temperature pilot light has gone out, wait a while before you start ironing. The amber pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.
Using the appliance Steam ironing
3 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank. Put the iron on the rubber mat. Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature').
Select the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature selected: - 1 - 2 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to 3) - 3 - 4 for maximum steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)
The iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been reached. Just before the water tank is empty, the iron will normally produce a burst of steam and some minor spitting may occur.This is a normal phenomenon related to the electrical pump.

Ironing without steam

Select the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature'). Do not squeeze the steam trigger. 1

Features Spray function

You can use the spray function to remove stubborn creases at any temperature. 1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank. Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed. When the internal reservoir is empty, squeeze the steam trigger for about one minute to refill it. Refilling is complete when you see or hear steam coming out from the steam vents in the soleplate.
The internal reservoir must be filled at a temperature setting between 2 and MAX. It is not possible to fill the internal reservoir at a temperature setting below 2.

Shot of steam

A powerful shot of concentrated steam helps remove stubborn creases. The shot-of-steam function can only be used at temperature settings between 2 and MAX at 5-second intervals.
Press and release the shot-of-steam button.

Vertical shot of steam

The shot-of-steam function can also be used when you hold the iron in vertical position. This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc. Never direct the steam towards people.

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate.When this happens you may hear a sound. Set the temperature dial to a position that is suitable for steam ironing (2 to MAX). Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature selected (see 'Steam ironing' in chapter 'Using the appliance'). The iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been reached. 1

Cleaning and maintenance After ironing
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down. 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, you should avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate. Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after cleaning.

Calc-clean function

You can use the calc-clean function to remove scale and impurities. Use the calc-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate
during ironing), the calc-clean function should be used more frequently. 1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Fill the water tank until it is half full. Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank. 3 Put the plug in the wall socket. Set the temperature dial to the calc-clean position. Set steam control to position 4.
Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the calc-clean button and gently shake the iron to and fro. Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) will be flushed out. 6 Release the calc-clean button as soon as the water in the tank has been used up.
Repeat the calc-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the calc-clean process
- Put the plug in the wall socket, set the temperature dial to position 2 and let the iron heat up to allow the soleplate to dry. - Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature. - Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate. - Let the iron cool down before you store it.

Storage

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged. Empty the water tank. Put the iron on the rubber mat and let it cool down sufficiently before you store it.

Replacement

The Philips Aquazur has a disposable anti-calc cassette that filters the water in the water tank. After some time the cassette will be saturated and should be replaced by a new one. How often the cassette should be replaced depends on the water hardness in your area and how often you use the iron. - If the water is very hard, replace the cassette every 3 months.
- If the water is moderately hard, replace the cassette every 9 months.
Turn to your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.

To replace the cassette:

Press the cassette release button and remove the cassette. Empty the water tank and the cassette compartment. Enter the current date on the new cassette and insert it into the water tank. Fill the water tank with water. Set the temperature dial to 3 and set the steam control to position 4. Squeeze the steam trigger for about one minute.The new cassette is now filled with water.

You can resume ironing.
