• The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped, if it
has any visible damage, if it leaks, or if it functions abnormally
in any way. Do not attempt to dismantle your appliance:
have it examined at an Approved Service Centre to avoid
any danger.
• Check the electrical power and steam cords for signs of wear
or damage prior to use. If the electrical power cord or the
steam cord is damaged, it must be replaced at an Approved
Service Centre to avoid any danger.
• The appliance will not work without the limescale collector
(depending on model).
• For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic
Compatibility, Environment, etc).
• Your steam generator iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is
designed for domestic use only.
• It is equipped with 2 safety systems:
- a pressure release valve designed to avoid excessive pressure. In the event of malfunction, the valve releases
excess steam.
- a thermal fuse to avoid overheating.
• Check that your power supply voltage corresponds to that shown on the appliance (alternating current
only). Any error in plugging in your appliance may cause irreversible damage and invalidate the guarantee.
• The appliance is to be connected to a socket-outlet having an earthing contact.
• Given the diverse standards in effect, if the appliance is used in a country other than that in which it is
purchased, have it checked by an Approved Service Agent.
• Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in good
condition, has a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating of the appliance.
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.
• Do not leave the power cord close to or in contact with sources of heat or sharp edges.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and
can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate of the iron.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board and be careful of hot steam when ironing close to the edges of
the board.
• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when
ironing vertically. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.
• Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.

Description
Locking system*
Your steam generator is fitted with a retaining hoop to hold the iron onto the base with a locked position for
easy transport and storage:
• Locking. • Unlocking.
To transport your steam generator using the handle of the iron:
- Put the iron on the steam generator iron rest and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click).
- Hold the iron by the handle to transport your steam generator.
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 hardware stores.
• 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
1 Unplugged the appliance and remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam
generator). fill it with tap watter without exceeding the MAX level.
2 Push it back into its housing until you hear a “click”.
Switch the steam generator on
• Place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal surface that is heat resistant
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear of
the steam cord.
• Completely unwind the power cord and take the steam cord out of its storage space.
• Plug your steam generator into an earthed socket.
• Press the “ON-OFF” button.
• The “ON-OFF” button light remains flashing while the appliance is warming up.
• When you switch on the appliance the NORMAL button light flashes while the iron is warming up..
NOTE: If you wish to begin ironing delicate fabrics first, press the “MIN” button straightaway before the iron has
reached the “normal” temperature setting as this will be too hot.
• The MIN(DELICATES)/ NORMAL/ MAX(JEANS) buttons control the temperature and steam
combinations that are suitable for different types of fabrics. They may be selected at any time.
• When the light of the selected button MIN(DELICATES)/ NORMAL/ MAX(JEANS) remains lit
(after around 2 minutes) the steam generator is ready for use.
