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 (according 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.

water authority) it is
