This document serves as a service manual for the Philips Azur Performer steam iron, models RI3802/22 and RI3802/24, providing comprehensive information for its repair and maintenance. The Azur Performer is designed to deliver efficient and powerful crease removal, making ironing tasks quicker and easier.
The Philips Azur Performer is a high-performance steam iron engineered for effective and rapid wrinkle elimination from various fabrics. Its core function revolves around generating continuous steam and powerful steam boosts to penetrate fabric fibers, relaxing them for smooth results. The iron is equipped with a SteamGlide soleplate, known for its excellent gliding capabilities and scratch resistance, ensuring effortless movement across garments. A key feature is its ability to produce a continuous steam output, which is crucial for tackling everyday wrinkles. For more stubborn creases, the iron offers a significant steam boost, delivering an extra burst of steam precisely where needed. Additionally, it supports vertical steaming, allowing users to refresh hanging garments, curtains, or drapes without needing an ironing board. A built-in spray function provides a fine mist of water, aiding in moistening dry areas of fabric for easier ironing. The iron operates with a substantial power output, enabling quick heat-up times and consistent performance throughout the ironing session.
The Azur Performer is designed with user convenience in mind, incorporating several features that enhance the ironing experience. Its generous water tank capacity reduces the frequency of refills during longer ironing sessions. The design of the water tank includes a sideways opening door, making both filling and emptying the tank straightforward and mess-free. To prevent water drips on garments, which can cause stains, the iron is equipped with a drip stop system that automatically halts water flow when the iron's temperature is too low for steam production. The ergonomic design includes a soft grip handle, providing comfort and reducing hand fatigue during extended use. For easy storage and management of the power cord, a cord clip is integrated, keeping the cord neatly bundled. The power cord itself is of a sufficient length, offering flexibility and reach during ironing. To address challenging areas like buttons, collars, and pleats, the iron features a triple precision tip, allowing for precise maneuvering and effective wrinkle removal in hard-to-reach spots. The overall design prioritizes fast and easy filling, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
Maintaining the Philips Azur Performer is simplified through integrated features aimed at prolonging its lifespan and ensuring consistent performance. The iron is primarily designed for use with tap water, making it convenient for most households. To combat the common issue of limescale buildup, which can impede steam performance, the iron incorporates a double active calc clean system. This system facilitates the descaling process, helping to remove mineral deposits and maintain optimal steam output over time. Regular cleaning of the iron, particularly utilizing this calc clean system, is emphasized as crucial for ensuring long-lasting steam performance. While tap water is acceptable, the manual suggests using demineralized water for even better ironing results and to guarantee a consistent steam flow, further minimizing the risk of limescale.
Beyond the built-in calc management, the service manual outlines specific repair instructions and checks to ensure the iron's safety and functionality. It highlights the importance of using only the specified cord set due to the iron's high wattage and mandates replacement of the power cord if any damage is observed, prohibiting continued usage in such cases. If the cover, which typically bears type plate information like the type number and voltage, needs replacement, the manual instructs technicians to engrave this information onto the new cover using a sharp object. Post-repair, the iron must undergo rigorous testing to confirm it functions properly and adheres to all safety requirements and legal regulations. These tests include checking the soleplate temperature against IEC requirements for all fabric types, measuring leakage current to ensure it's below the specified threshold, and verifying that there is no water leakage from any part of the product during operation. Functional checks are also performed to confirm that all product-dependent features, such as steaming, steam trigger, variable steam, and SOS functions, are working correctly. Technicians are also instructed to check for any loose parts that could cause short-circuits or malfunctions and to service water tubes if a fuse open circuit occurs, as this often indicates a calc blockage. Finally, proper handling of failed PCBAs with ESD bags for shipment and the use of defined screws in terms of length and material are emphasized to maintain the integrity and safety of the device.
