Preparation

What water to use ?

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.

However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order

to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The

types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that

can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance:

water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from

refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised

water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron.

Filling the water tank

• Check that the Ultracord system is properly locked.

• Unplug your iron before filling it.

• Set the steam control to “0” –

fig.1.

• Take the iron with one hand and tilt it slightly, with the nose of the soleplate

pointing down.

• To open the flap of the water tank, push the button –

fig.2.

• Fill the tank up to the “MAX” line –

fig.3.

• Close the flap of the water tank, until it clicks into place.

Use

Adjust the temperature and the steam

• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.

• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough – fig.5.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low tempe-

ratures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes

back on before beginning to iron again,

• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the

most delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric

first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

Spray Function (spray)

• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen

laundry to remove stubborn creases –

fig.6.

Obtain more steam

• Press the Turbo button from time to time – fig.7.

• Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the Turbo button again.

Vertical steam ironing

• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a

hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing.

• Set the thermostat control to

“MAX” – fig.8.

• Press the Turbo button repeatedly – fig.7 moving the iron from top to

bottom –

fig.9, wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.

Dry ironing

• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.

• Set the steam control to “0” – fig.1.

• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

= STEAM ZONE

In order to avoid water dripping from

the iron onto the linen:

- Turn off the steam when ironing silk

or synthetic fabrics.

- Set it at the minimum position for

wool.

Make sure that there is

water in the tank before

using this button.

If your water is very hard, it is

possible to mix tap water with

store-bought distilled or

demineralised water in the

following proportions :

- 50% tap water,

- 50% distilled or

demineralised water.

Hold the iron a few

centimetres from the

fabric to avoid burning

delicate fabrics.
