Tank for PHILIPS steam irons
The water tank enables the storage of water for your appliance. It is generally best to fill the container with deminerallised water. This part is important for your machine: this tank will supply water to a boiler, which will in turn make the iron work. Usually detachable, the tank provides unlimited autonomy when ironing, as it can be re-filled during use (without having to switch off the appliance). Its role is thus to store the water until such a moment as it is pumped and converted into steam!
The tank may oxidise, leak or even break down. In such cases, you must replace it.
If water leaks from the tank, it will undoubtedly have a breakage or hole in it. Check whether this is the case by removing the tank if it is detachable, or examine it directly.
If the leak is the result of damage to the tank, replace it.
Note: water can also leak from the tank because it is overfilled. Generally speaking, a maximum level indicator will allow you to monitor this. If the quantity of water inside the tank exceeds this threshold, empty some of the water!
