Preparation
What water to use ?
• Your iron 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.
• Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waster, 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 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 sideways.
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 (A). If this occurs, remove the excess water.
• Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight.
Using the Easycord system (according to model)
• Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging
over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing.
• Take the steam cord out of its housing and unwind it completely.
• Remove the tie to release the cord outlet.
• Press the Eject button (B) and the Easycord system extends automatically.
• When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without you having
to press the Eject button.
Starting the generator
• Unwind the electric cord completely and take the steam cord out of its housing.
• Connect your 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 (accor-
ding to model), the steam is ready.
• 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
possible to mix tap water
with store-bought
distilled or demineralised
water in the following
proportions : 50%
untreated tap water, 50%
distilled or demineralised
water.
Always use the Easycord
system for enhanced
comfort of use.
The first time the
appliance is used, there
may be some fumes and
smell but this is not
harmful.
They will not affect use
and will disappear
rapidly.
Use
Steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature adjustment dial and the steam flow adjustment dial (according
to model) to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on the iron handle (C).
• The steam will stop when you release the button.
The generator and the
iron are ready to iron
when the steam ready
indicator light (according
to model) is lit and the
iron thermostat dial light
has gone out.
