Preparation
What water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your water is very hard (check with your local
water authority), 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.
Types of water not to use?
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 demi-
neralised water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron. Also do not to use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
• NB:
Never use rain water or water containing additives (such as starch, fragrances or water from household appliances).
These additives may affect the properties of the steam, and together with high temperatures can cause deposits to
form in the steam chamber which could soil your laundry.
Filling the water tank
• Place your steam generator on a stable, flat heat-resistant surface.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better
ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open the flap on the tank.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark.
