The new Philips PerfectCare Azur steam iron offers you an innovative

way to iron garments. We all know the fuss with traditional irons: choosing

the right temperature for tough and delicate fabrics, waiting for the iron

to warm up and cool down to avoid the risk of damaging clothes with

a too hot iron. Those hassles are things of the past with the new Philips

PerfectCare Azur steam iron.

Historically, wrinkle removal was done with a very hot soleplate, then

steam was added to enhance heat transfer and we could iron much faster.

Our research conrmed that the best way to remove wrinkles

effectively is a perfect combination of intense steam and

optimal soleplate temperature. The key to effective wrinkle

removal is the steam, not the soleplate temperature. To get

optimal steam, the soleplate temperature needs to be just

above the steam temperature.

In the past, a large amount of steam at this optimal temperature would

have led to water leakage. We have developed a unique steam chamber

that generates a consistent output of moisture-rich steam that penetrates

deep into the fabric for fast ironing with no risk of water leakage.

- Ironing is now really simple: no temperature adjustment, no scorching,

no waiting for the iron to heat up or cool down. Ironing takes less

time, no matter who does it. With this OptimalTEMP technology, every

single garment can be ironed effectively and safely.

This iron has been approved by The Woolmark Company Pty Ltd for the

ironing of wool-only products, provided that the garments are ironed

according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the

manufacturer of this iron, R1101. In the United Kingdom, Eire, Hong Kong

and India, the Woolmark trademark is a certication trademark.
