Before using for the first time

 

 

 

 

Read the instructions for use carefully.

Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating the iron.

•Before using your iron for the first time in the steaming position, we recommend that you let it function for a few moments in the horizontal position and away from your clothes. Press the turbo steam button several times in this position.

•On first use you may notice a small amount of smoke and odour or a small discharge of particles. This is normal and will quickly disappear.

Preparation

What water to use?

• Your iron has been designed to work with untreated tap water. It is however necessary to clean the scale collector regularly, eliminating all residues.

• 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. Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water. These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron.

Do not fill your iron through the scale collector orifice. Do not exceed the tank's MAX marking. Do not fill your iron directly under the tap.

Do not remove the anti-calc valve to fill the tank.

Filling the tank

•Unplug your iron before filling it.

•Set the steam control to – fig.1.

•Hold the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, pointing the soleplate upwards.

•Open the tank cover – fig.2.

•Fill the tank to the “MAX” marking – fig.3.

•Close the tank cover.

Use

Adjusting the temperature and steam

•Adjust the thermostat control – fig.4, by referring to the table below.

•The light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is sufficiently hot – fig.5.

•Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that require a low heat, then finish with those that need higher temperatures.

•If you lower the thermostat, wait for the light to come back on before starting to iron again.
