Locking system for retaining the iron on the base - Lock-system
(depending on model)
• Your steam generator maybe equipped with a retaining hoop which locks the iron on its base for easier transport
and storage – fig.1:
- Locking – fig.2 - Unlocking – fig.3
• To carry your steam generator by the iron handle:
- Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place
(audible click) – fig.2.
- Grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator – fig.1.
• Ironing Board: due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess
steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
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 domes-
tic 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
• Pull the cover up over the iron until the protection system automatically locks (you will hear a “click” ) - fig.2
• Remove the water tank by pulling on the handle (at the front of the generator) – fig.4.
• Fill the tank with water, taking care not to exceed the maximum level – fig.6. and fig.7.
• Slide the tank back into its housing until its “clicks” into place – fig.5.
• Press the unlocking button on the protective cover until you hear a click, and then fold it back on to the generator
base unit – fig.3.
Ultracord System (according to model)
• Your iron maybe equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging over the laundry and
creasing it again when ironing. It also keeps the cord out of the way of your hand.
I
roning with the Ultracord system:
- The Ultracord system automatically tips back.
- Each time you put the iron back on its base, the Ultracord system fits into the heel of the iron and opens back up
automatically when you use the iron.
S
toring the generator:
- Fold the connector back onto the heel.
