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”
–

.
• 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 –

RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low
temperatures 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
• 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.

In order to avoid water
dripping from the iron
onto the linen:
- Turn off the steam
when ironing silk or
synthetic fabrics.

Make sure that there

demineralised water in
the following
proportions :
