3 • Before first use

Warning! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron (depending on model).

Warning!

Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.

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 function with untreated tap water. However, Self-cleaning of the appliance should be carried out once a month in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

If you have very hard water, mix untreated tap water with commercially available demineralised or distilled water in the following ratio:

50% untreated tap water / 50% demineralised or distilled water.

- 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 or demineralised water as advised above.

- The integrated anti-calc system (according to model) gives better quality ironing: a constant flow of steam throughout the ironing session and longer lasting performance of your appliance.

4 • Steam ironing

Filling the water tank

• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to DRY (A).
• Take the iron in one hand and hold it with the point of the soleplate tilted downwards.
• To open the water tank stopper, turn it anticlockwise until the arrow on the stopper points to the “open padlock” symbol (B). It will lift automatically.
• Fill the tank up to the "MAX" line (C).
• Close the water tank stopper again by pressing it in and turning it clockwise until the arrow points to the “closed padlock” symbol (B).

Setting the temperature

• Set the thermostat control (D) referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough (E).

Setting the steam level

- 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.

What temperature and which steam setting to use?

• Set the thermostat control (D) referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough (E).

RECOMMANDATIONS:

Fabrics and ironing temperatures:

• 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).

Spray function

• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button (F) to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases.
• Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.

For more steam

• Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (G)
• Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

Vertical steam ironing

- Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never while someone is wearing it.

• Set the thermostat control to MAX (H).
• Press the Shot of Steam button (repeatedly (I), moving the iron from top to bottom (See illustration) (J), wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.
• Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

Integral anti-scale system (depending on model)

• Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (K).
• This system will help to provide:
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-stop safety feature (depending on model)

- The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds (L).

- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.

Anti-drip function (depending on model)

- If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.

When using the iron for the first time, allow 2 minutes for steam to be produced.

5 • Dry ironing

• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
• Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

Self-cleaning

In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a month.

• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it's heel with the thermostat set to max and heat it up.
• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position, over a sink.
• Remove the anti-calc valve.
• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate.
• At the end of the operation, push the anti-calc valve back into position.
• Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.

RECOMMENDATIONS : the self-cleaning function helps to slow down the scaling up of your iron.

Cleaning the soleplate

- While the soleplate is still slightly warm, clean it by wiping over it with a damp non-metallic cloth.

6 • Storing your iron

• Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down. Empty the water tank and set the steam control to DRY. A little water may remain in the tank.
• Wind the cord around the heel at the back of the iron. Store the iron on its heel.
