Preparation
What water may be used ?
• Tap water:
Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, we recom- mend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in hardware stores.
• 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. These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron. Also only use distilled water as advised above.
Always remember:
Never use rainwater or water containing additives (like starch, fragrance or water from domestic appliances). Such additives can affect the steam properties and at high temperature, form deposits in the steam generator cham- ber which are likely to stain your washing.
Filling the water tank
•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.
Switch the steam generator on
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
•Put the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal surface that is heatproof.
•Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear of the steam cord.
•Completely unwind the power cord and take the steam cord out of its storage space.
•Plug your steam generator into an earthed socket.
