Locking system for retaining the iron on the base - Lock system
• Your steam generator is equipped with a retaining hoop which locks the iron on its base for easier 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 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 stable, flat heat-resistant surface.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better
ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open the flap on the tank.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -
fig.4.
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 on the on / off switch. The green light (located on the control panel) flashes
and the boiler heats up -
fig.14 When the green “steam ready” light stops
flashing (after 2 minutes approximately), the appliance is ready -
fig.15.
• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's
electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking
noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.
Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on. Important: whenever you start using your iron and whenever you reduce the
temperature during use, the iron is ready for use when its indicator light goes out and when the green light
located on the control panel comes on and remains on. During use, when you increase the temperature of the
iron, you can start ironing immediately, but make sure you only increase your steam flow once the iron’s light
has gone out.
