Before using for the first time

• Before using your iron for the first time in the steaming position, we

recommend that you let it function for a few moments in the horizontal

position and away from your clothes. Press the turbo steam button several

times in this position.

• On first use you may notice a small amount of smoke and odour or a small

discharge of particles. This is normal and will quickly disappear.

Preparation

What water to use?

• Your iron has been designed to work with untreated tap water. It is however necessary to clean the scale

collector regularly, eliminating all residues.

• 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. Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water.

These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron.

Filling the tank

• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to

fig.1

.

• Hold the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, pointing the soleplate upwards.

• Open the tank cover –

fig.2

.

• Fill the tank to the “MAX” marking –

fig.3

.

• Close the tank cover.

Use

Adjusting the temperature and steam

• Adjust the thermostat control –

fig.4

, by referring to the table below.

• The light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is sufficiently hot –

fig.5

.

According to the type of fabric

selected, your iron automatically

and accurately determines the

temperature and steam flow, to

guarantee the best result.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that require a low heat, then finish

with those that need higher temperatures.

• If you lower the thermostat, wait for the light to come back on before starting to

iron again.

Read the instructions for

use carefully.

Remove any labels from

the soleplate before

heating the iron.

Do not fill your iron through

the scale collector orifice. Do

not exceed the tank's MAX

marking. Do not fill your iron

directly under the tap.

Do not remove the anti-calc

valve to fill the tank.

If your water is very hard,

you are able to mix 50%

untreated tap water with

50% store bought distilled

water.
