- Unplug your iron before filling it.

-Set the steam control to DRY (A) .

-Take the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, soleplate downwards (D).

-To open the water tank stopper, turn it anticlockwise until the arrow on the stopper points to the “open padlock” symbol (B). It will lift automatically.

-Fill the tank up to the “MAX” line (D).

-Re-close the tank stopper (C).To close the stopper, align the arrow with the “open padlock” symbol then turn it clockwise until the arrow is aligned with the “closed padlock” symbol.

-You can now plug in your iron.

Choose your ironing programme

Your iron has 8 ironing programmes:

For each program corresponding to a type of textile to be ironed, your iron automati- cally and precisely determines the most suitable temperature and steam flow to guarantee best results.

Spray Function

- While ironing,press a few times in succession on the Spray button to dampen the fabric (H) and iron out obstinate creases.

H

For more steam (shot of steam button)

- Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (I) - Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

I

Vertical steam ironing

-Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc

-Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never while someone is wearing it.

-Set the iron to program 8 (J).

-Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

-Press the Shot of Steam button () repeatedly (K), moving the iron from top to bot- tom. (See illustration) (L).

Warning ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron (depending on model).

Warning!

Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recom- mend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.

During the first few uses, a harmless odour and smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

What water to use ?

Your appliance has been designed to function with 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.

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 demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron.Also do not to use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

To select the appropriate ironing program, use the program selector beneath the grip (E).

- Pressing on the left side : selects the programs requiring low temperature and steam levels. Beyond program 1, pressing the program selector has no effect.

- Pressing on the right side : selects the programs requiring high temperature and steam levels. Beyond program 8, pressing the program selector has no effect.

- The program selected appears automatically on the indicator panel at the front of the iron (F). - Set the steam control to steam ()

- When your iron reaches the required temperature, the thermostat indicator goes out (G). You can start ironing.

Recommendations:

Fabrics and ironing temperatures:

Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low tem- peratures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

if you change to a program requiring lower temperatures, wait for the thermostat light to come on again before continuing to iron (for models fitted with the “Thermo-Alert”, refer to the section “Thermo-Alert function”).

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 them).

For best results we recommend you use a vented ironing board to allow the powerful steam to penetrate through the fabric more efficiently.

Ensure that the fabric you are ironing is flat to avoid steam venting sideways whilst ironing.

You iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (M). - This system will help to provide :

• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,

• a longer life for your iron.

M

Anti-drip function

-The principle of automatic selection of the steam according to the fabric selected, reduces the steam flow at lower temperatures and avoids water dripping from your iron onto the fabric.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

- The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the

Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds, for your security.

- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on,

Nit is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.

“Thermo-Alert” function (depending on model)

- The “Thermo-Alert” light (O) comes on when you choose a program requiring a lower temperature (for example, changing from program 8 to program 6).

It remains lit while the soleplate temperature is too high.

- When it goes out, you can iron without risk of burning the fabric.
