• During the first few uses, a harmless odour and smoke may be given off. This has
no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
What water to use ?
• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However,
it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard
water deposits from the steam chamber.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.The types of
water listed below contain organic waste or mineral 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 or air
conditioners, boiled filtered or bottled mineral water, pure distilled or demineralised
water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron.
Filling the water tank
• Put the switch into the Cordless position – fig.5 and remove the iron from
its base.
• Set the steam control to DRY – fig.6.
• Place the iron flat and fill it –
fig.7.
• Put the iron back on its base.
Use
Adjust the temperature and the steam
• Select the temperature (see table below or iron’s heel) setting the thermostat facing
the indicator –
fig.8.
• The thermostat light comes on –
fig.9. It will go out when the soleplate is hot
enough.
• Set the steam control –
fig.10 to the desired position, consulting the table below.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low
temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature.
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on
before beginning to iron again.
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most
delicate fibre.
• For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place
eg (inside the hem).
Go back into Cordless mode
Use this ironing mode for small garments and fabrics that are easy to iron.
• Put the switch into the Cordless position –
fig.5. You can start to iron as soon
as the thermostat indicator light goes off.
Go back into Corded mode
Use this ironing mode for thick fabrics that are difficult to iron or in cases where you find yourself often using the
b
oost of steam button
– fig.4.
• Put the switch into the Corded position. –
fig.1. You can start to iron as soon
as the thermostat indicator light goes off.
Obtain more steam
• Press the boost of steam button from time to time – fig.4.
• Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the boost of steam button
again.
Attention: Always
remove your iron from
the base before filling it
up.Fill the tank up to
the“MAX”.
Never fill the appliance
by holding it directly
under the tap.
= STEAM ZONE
In order to avoid water
dripping from the iron
onto the linen:
- Turn off the steam
when ironing silk or
synthetic fabrics.
- Set it at the minimum
position for wool.
If your water is very
hard, it is possible to mix
tap water with store-
bought distilled or
demineralised water in
the following
proportions:
- 50% tap water,
- 50% distilled or
demineralised water.

For optimum
efficiency, always put
your iron back on its
base.
