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 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 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
• Remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam generator) – fig.4.
• Fill the water tank without exceeding the Max level – fig.5 and fig.6.
• Push it back into its housing until you hear a «click» – fig.7.
Switch the steam generator on
• Always place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal heat-resistant worksurface
away from heat sources and water splashes.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid
straining and wear of the steam cord.
• Pull out and completely unwind the power cord from its storage space.
• Pull out the steam cord from its sliding storage space - fig.24.
• Plug your steam generator into an earthed socket.
• Press the «ON-OFF» button - fig.8.
• When the iron is turned on, the SYNTH indicator flashes - fig.9, as does the iron thermostat
indicator until the iron is ready for use (after approximately 2 minutes). The lights will then
stop flashing - fig.10.
• The SYNTH. / SILK / WOOL / COTTON / LINEN indicators control the temperature and
steam flow combinations which adjust to the different types of fabrics. They may be selected
at any time.
