Preparation

What water to use ?

• Tap water:

Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in most shops.

• 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 ap- pliances). Such additives can affect the steam pro- perties and at high tempe- rature, form deposits in the steam station chamber which are likely to stain your washing.

Filling the boiler

•Place your steam station on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

•Check that your appliance is unplugged and cold.

•Unscrew the boiler cap.

•Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water. Fill the boiler, taking care that the water does not spill over fig.4. If this occurs, remove the excess water.

•Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight.

Using the Easycord system

•Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing.

•Take the steam cord out of its housing and unwind it completely.

•Press the Eject button and the Easycord system extends automatically.

•When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without you ha- ving to press the Eject button - fig.5.

Always use the Easy- cord system for en- hanced comfort of use.

GV6920C0, GV6920G0, GV6920Z0, GV6920E0 specifications

The Tefal GV6920 series of steam generators, including models GV6920E0, GV6920Z0, GV6920G0, and GV6920C0, represents a blend of advanced technology and user-friendly design, making them a favorite among households looking for efficient ironing solutions.

At the heart of the Tefal GV6920 series is its powerful steam output, which reaches up to 120 grams per minute, allowing for effective wrinkle removal from a variety of fabrics. Coupled with a high-pressure steam function, these models can produce steam pressure of up to 5 bars, ensuring deep penetration into fabrics and making ironing faster and more effective than traditional irons.

One of the standout features of these steam generators is the patented "Easycord" technology that ensures the power cord stays out of the way during ironing. This innovative design not only enhances convenience but also helps in achieving a smoother glide over garments without interruptions.

The GV6920 series is equipped with a large water tank capacity, often reaching up to 1.7 liters, allowing for extended ironing sessions without frequent refills. This is especially advantageous for those with large ironing piles or for households that require frequent ironing. The tank is designed to be easy to refill, and many models feature a removable design for added convenience.

For maintenance, the Tefal GV6920 models incorporate a built-in anti-scale system, which helps maintain the performance and longevity of the appliance by preventing the buildup of limescale in the boiler. This feature is particularly important in areas with hard water.

Safety is another priority for Tefal, as these steam generators include an automatic shut-off feature that activates when the appliance is left unattended for a period. This ensures peace of mind for users who may be concerned about safety when focusing on their ironing tasks.

The ceramic soleplate featured in these models offers excellent glide and durability. Its smooth surface ensures even heat distribution, reducing the risk of fabric sticking or burning.

With these characteristics, the Tefal GV6920 series stands out in the market for its innovative technology and user-orientated design, making ironing a more efficient and enjoyable experience for everyone. As a result, these steam generators are ideal for households aiming to maintain crisp, wrinkle-free clothing with minimal effort.
