FAQs

How do I fill the water tank?

Open the filling opening and pour water into the tank until it reaches the maximum fill line. The extra large filling opening makes this easier.

Yes, you can use tap water. However, for best results and to prolong the life of your iron, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth after the iron has cooled down. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner.

How often should I descale the iron?

Descale your iron regularly, usually once a month, depending on how often you use it and the hardness of your water. Use the calc-clean function.

What happens if I leave the iron unattended?

The iron has an auto shut-off feature that activates after a period of inactivity. It will automatically turn off for safety.

Can I use the iron for vertical steaming?

Yes, the iron features a vertical steam function. Press and release the steam boost trigger for shots of steam on demand.

What is the warranty period?

The Philips Azur 8000 Series Steam Iron comes with a 2-year warranty.
