examined at an Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger.
• Check the electrical power and steam cords for signs of
wear or damage prior to use. If the electrical power cord
or the steam cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger.
• Accessories, consumables and end user replaceable parts must be only purchased from Tefal or
an Approved Service Centre.
• For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive,
Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environment, etc).
• Your steam generator iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of
use. It is designed for domestic use only.
• It is equipped with 2 safety systems:
- a pressure release valve designed to avoid excessive pressure. In the event of malfunction, the
valve releases excess steam.
- a thermal fuse to avoid overheating.
• Check that your power supply voltage corresponds to that shown on the appliance (alternating
current only). Any error in plugging in your appliance may cause irreversible damage and
invalidate the guarantee.
• The appliance is to be connected to a socket-outlet having an earthing contact.
• Given the diverse standards in effect, if the appliance is used in a country other than that in which
it is purchased, have it checked by an Approved Service Agent.
• Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in
good condition, has a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating of the appliance.
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.
• Do not leave the power cord close to or in contact with sources of heat or sharp edges.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high
temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords
with the sole plate of the iron.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board and be careful of hot steam when ironing close to the
edges of the board.
• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially
when ironing vertically. Never direct the steam towards people or animals. Neveriron clothing on
a person, always use a hanger. Never iron in a seated position with your legs under the iron board.
• Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a
running tap.

easy transport and storage:
• Locking.
• Unlocking.
To transport your steam generator using the handle of the iron:
- Put the iron on the steam generator iron rest and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place
(audible click).
- Hold the iron by the handle to transport your steam generator.
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 condi-
tioners, 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 chamber
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 and waterproof.
• 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 the power cord into the connector in the generator base, making sure it is fully inserted (see pictures on
page 4). Once the power cord is securely fitted do not remove it.
• Plug your steam generator into a socket with an earthing contact.
• Press the «ON-OFF» button.
