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 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
• Place your steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface. For best results use
a vented ironing board to prevent water spots on the clothes and to avoid steam venting
sideways.
• 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.
