Description

Preparation

What water to use ?

• Tap water :

Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard,

we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in

most shops.

• Types of water not to use :

Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed

below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical 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, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water.

These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron. Also only use distilled water as advised

above.

• Always remember :

Never use rainwater or water containing additives (like starch, fragrance or water from domestic

appliances). Such additives can affect the steam properties and at high temperature, form deposits

in the steam generator chamber which are likely to stain your washing.

Filling the boiler

•Place your steam generator on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

•Check that your appliance is unplugged and cold.

•Unscrew the boiler cap.

•Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water untreated tap . Fill the boiler, taking care that the

water does not spill over fig.1.

•Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight.

Starting the generator

• Unwind the electric cord completely and take the steam cord out

of its housing.

• Plug your generator into an earthed socket.

• Press the on/off luminous switch. It comes on and the boiler heats

up.

• After approximately 6 minutes the steam is ready.

• When the iron is in use, the iron thermostat light on the iron comes on and goes off according to

the soleplate temperature requirement

Use

Steam ironing

• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fa-

bric to be ironed (see table below).

• The thermostat light comes on.

• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on the iron handle

- fig.2.

If this occurs, remove the

excess water.

The first time the appliance is

used, there may be some fumes

and smell but this is not harmful.

They will not affect use and will

disappear rapidly.
