IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the iron.

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids:
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Contact our Consumer Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down - there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9. This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp. cord should be used. Cords rated for less amper may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for safety currently in force (Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, Environnement).

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
• Warning! The voltage of your electrical installation must correspond to that of

the iron (120V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.

• If it is absolutely essential to use an extension cable, choose a 15 amp one.
• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger.
• The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or functions incorrectly. Never dismantle your appliance: have it inspected by an Approved Service Centre, so as to avoid any danger.
• Never immerse your iron in water!
• Do not unplug your appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance: before filling or rinsing the water tank, before cleaning it, after each use.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source or if it has not cooled down for approximately 1 hour.
• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns. Take extra care especially when you are ironing close to the edge or on a corner of your ironing board. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.
• Your iron should be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. When you put your iron onto its iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you put it is stable.
• This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

What water to use?

Your appliance has been designed to function with 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. If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority), it is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions: - 50% untreated tap water, - 50% distilled or de-mineralised water.

Types of water not to use?

Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral 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 or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

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

The auto-stop light will be lit during normal use!

Environment

Environment protection first!

① Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
