3 • Before first use

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 recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few mo- ments, 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. Howe- ver, Self-cleaning of the appliance should be carried out once a month in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

If you have very hard water, mix untreated tap water with commercially available demineralised or distilled water in the following ratio:

50% untreated tap water / 50% demineralised or distilled water.

•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 softe- ned water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boi- led, filtered or bottled water. These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised above.

•The integrated anti-calc system (according to model) gives better quality iro- ning: a constant flow of steam throughout the ironing

session and longer lasting performance of your appliance.
