Description

Locking system for retaining the iron on the base

Lock system (depending on model)

• Your steam generator is equipped with a retaining hoop which locks the iron on its base for ea-

sier transport and storage:

- Locking - fig.1

- Unlocking - fig.2

• 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.1.

- Grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator - fig.3.

Preparation

What water to use ?

• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, in some

coastal regions, your water may have a high salt content. In this case, only use de-

mineralised water.

• Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates the elements contained in water du-

ring evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waster, mi-

neral 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 steam generator.

Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised left.

• Ironing Boards: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type iorning board must

be used to allow any excess steam to escapte and to avoid steam venting side-

ways.

Filling the boiler

• Place your steam generator 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 your steam generator

• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space .

• Tilt the locking ring of the iron forwards to release the safety catch.

• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.

• Press the on/off luminous switch. It comes on and the boiler heats up.

• After approximately 8 minutes or when the steam ready indicator light comes on (ac-

cording to model), the steam is ready - fig.5.

• During ironing the iron’s thermostat light and the steam indicator (according to

model) will go on and off according to the temperature control.

If your water is very hard

(check with your local

water authority) it is pos-

sible to mix tap water

with store-bought distil-

led or demineralised

water in the following

proportions : 50% untrea-

ted tap water, 50% distil-

led or demineralised

water.

The first time the ap-

pliance is used, there

may be some fumes

and smell but this is

not harmful. They will

not affect use and will

disappear rapidly.
