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.
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. Fill the boiler, taking care that the water
does not spill over
fig.4
. If this occurs, remove the excess water.
• Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight.
Using your steam generator
• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space .
• Tilt the locking ring of the iron forwards to release the safety catch.
• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.
• Press the on/off luminous switch. It comes on and the boiler heats up.
• After approximately 8 minutes or when the steam ready indicator light comes on (ac-
cording to model), the steam is ready
- fig.5
.
• During ironing the iron’s thermostat light and the steam indicator (according to
model) will go on and off according to the temperature control.
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.
The first time the ap-
pliance is used, there
may be some fumes
and smell but this is
not harmful. They will
not affect use and will
disappear rapidly.
