Preparation

What water to use ?

•Your appliance has been designed to operate using 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.

•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.

If your water is very hard, 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.

Fill the tank up to the “MAX”.

Never fill the appliance by holding it directly under the tap.

Filling the water tank

•Check that the Ultracord system is properly locked.

• Unplug your iron before filling it.

RECOMMENDATIONS

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

•If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,

•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 the hem).

= STEAM ZONE

In order to avoid water dripping from the iron onto the linen:

-Turn off the steam when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics.

-Set it at the minimum position for wool.

Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.

Spray Function

•Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases – fig.6.

Obtain more steam

•Press the Turbo button from time to time – fig.7.

•Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the Turbo button again.
