This manual explains how to prepare the Philips HI 569/568/559/558 steam iron for use, including removing the carry case, setting the 3‑position switch, and filling the water reservoir. It details the temperature and steam controls, spray and turbo‑steam functions, and the Auto‑Stop safety feature.
The guide also covers regular maintenance such as self‑cleaning, scale removal, cleaning the soleplate, and proper storage. Safety warnings emphasize correct voltage, cord handling, and child protection.
| Water reservoir capacity | 230 ml |
|---|---|
| Steam output levels | 0 (no steam) to 6 (maximum steam) |
Remove the mains plug, set the steam control to 0, open the filling funnel, and pour water up to the MAX indication (230 ml).
Set the steam control to 0, fill the reservoir to MAX, set temperature to MAX, press the “Self clean” button for one minute, then release it.
If the iron is left motionless for more than 30 seconds (horizontal) or 8 minutes (vertical), the red Auto‑Stop pilot light blinks and the iron shuts off automatically.
Turn the steam control to 0, set the 3‑position switch to the storage position (∫), empty the water reservoir, and place the iron on its stand.
