FAQs

How do I fill the water tank?

Open the water inlet and fill the tank with tap water up to the maximum level indicated.

What kind of water should I use?

You can use tap water. However, using distilled or demineralized water can help prolong the life of your iron.

How do I use the steam boost?

Press the steam boost button for a powerful burst of steam to remove stubborn creases.

How often should I use the calc-clean function?

Use the calc-clean function every 1-2 months, or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water.

Can I iron delicate fabrics?

Yes, but always check the garment label for ironing instructions. Use a lower temperature setting and, if necessary, the dry iron setting.

What is the warranty period?

The Philips DST5030/26 comes with a 2-year warranty.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug the iron and let it cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.

Can I use the vertical steam function on all fabrics?

It is recommended to check the garment label first. Vertical steam is ideal for garments that are difficult to iron on a board, such as delicate fabrics or items with embellishments.

Troubleshooting

Iron not heating up.

Check the power cord and outlet. Ensure the iron is switched on.

Steam not working.

Make sure the water tank has water. Check the steam setting and that the iron has reached the correct temperature.

Water leaking.

Ensure the temperature setting is appropriate for steam. The anti-drip function may be activated at lower temperatures. Also, ensure that the iron is not overfilled.

Limescale buildup.

Use the calc-clean function regularly as instructed in the user manual.
