Before using for the first time

Read the instructions for use carefully. Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating the iron.

• Before using your iron for the first time in the steaming position, we recommend that you let it function for a few moments in the horizontal position and away from your clothes. Press the turbo steam button several times in this position.
• On first use you may notice a small amount of smoke and odour or a small discharge of particles. This is normal and will quickly disappear.

Preparation

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.
• 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. Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water. These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron.

Filling the tank

Do not exceed the tank's MAX marking. Do not fill your iron directly under the tap.

Do not remove the anti-calc valve to fill the tank.

• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to fig.1.
• Hold the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, pointing the soleplate upwards.
• Open the tank cover – fig.2.
• Fill the tank to the "MAX" marking – fig.3.
• Close the tank cover.

Use

Adjusting the temperature and steam

• Adjust the thermostat control – fig.4, by referring to the table below.
• The light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is sufficiently hot – fig.5.

FABRIC	POSITION OF THERMOSTAT CURSOR STEAM SETTING
LINEN COTTON WOOL
SILK / SYNTHETIC (Polyester, Acetate, Acrylic, Nylon)

According to the type of fabric selected, your iron automatically and accurately determines the temperature and steam flow, to guarantee the best result.

RECOMMENDATIONS

= STEAM ZONE

• Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that require a low heat, then finish with those that need higher temperatures.

• If you lower the thermostat, wait for the light to come back on before starting to iron again.

• If you are ironing a fabric comprising a mixture of fibres: adjust the temperature to the most delicate fibre.

• If you put your thermostat in the "MIN" position, the iron does not become hot.

Using the water spray trigger (spray)

Check that there is water in the tank before using the spray trigger.

- When ironing with the steam or dry function, press the spray trigger several times in succession to remove stubborn wrinkles – fig.6.

Obtaining more steam

• Set the thermostat control to "MAX" or "●●●".
• Press the turbo steam button from time to time – fig.7.
• To avoid water dripping onto your clothes, wait a few seconds before pressing again.

Smoothing garments vertically

Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric so as not to burn delicate fabrics.

• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric using 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" – fig.8.
• Pulse the turbo steam button 🎨 – fig.7 and move from top to bottom – fig.9.

Dry Iron function

• Adjust the temperature to the fabric being ironed.
• Set the steam control to Fig.1.
• You can iron when the light goes out.

Additional functions

Gliss/Glide Protect™ autoclean soleplate (depending on model)

• Your iron is equipped with a catalytic self-cleaning soleplate.
• Its exclusive coating removes all impurities generated by normal use.
• It is recommended that you always rest your iron on its support base to preserve its self-cleaning coating.

In normal use, the auto-stop light is on!

Auto-stop safety function (depending on model)

• The electronic system cuts the power and the auto-stop light flashes if the iron is placed on its support base for more than 8 minutes or left flat for more than 30 seconds – fig.10.
• To restart the iron, simply shake it gently until the light stops flashing.

Anti-drip function

- The automatic steam selection function is based on the fabric being ironed, which is integrated into your iron, reduces the steam flow at low temperatures and prevents the iron from dripping onto your clothes.

Cleaning and maintenance

Self-cleaning

• Put the steam button on "MAX".
• Place the iron on its base with a full tank and set the thermostat to the "MAX" position.
• When the light goes out, disconnect the iron and place it over a sink.
• Set the thermostat to the "MIN" position.
• Remove the anti-calc valve.
• Shake the iron lightly and horizontally above a sink until part of the water (with the impurities) flows from behind the appliance – fig.21.
• Once you have finished this operation, replace the anti-calc valve, inserting it until you hear a click – fig.20.
• Plug in your iron and let it stand on its base for 2 minutes in order to clean the soleplate.
• Unplug your iron and when the soleplate is lukewarm, dry it with a soft cloth.

- When you next use your iron, switch it on in the horizontal position, holding it away from you, to remove any water and limescale residue left in the baseplate.

Clean the anti-calc valve (once a month)

Warning!

• Never touch the end of the valve – fig.18.

• The iron does not work without the anti-calc valve.

• Unplug your iron and empty the tank.

• Put the steam button on max and set the thermostat to the "MIN" position.
• To remove the anti-calc valve, press the self-clean extraction button – fig.16 and pull the valve upwards – fig.17.
• Let the valve soak for 4 hours in a glass of commercially available white vinegar or natural lemon juice – fig.19.
• Rinse the valve under tap water.
• Reposition the anti-calc valve; push it until it clicks – fig.20.

Cleaning the soleplate

Your steam iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate (depending on model):

• Its exclusive active coating eliminates all impurities that can be generated under normal conditions of use.
• Ironing using the incorrect temperature could however leave traces that require manual cleaning. In this case, it is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the still warm soleplate so as not to damage clothing.

Your steam iron is equipped with the Ultragliss soleplate (depending on model):

- Clean with a damp non-metallic sponge or damp soft cloth while the soleplate is still warm.

Warning! Using any abrasive sponge damages the self-cleaning coating (according to model) of your soleplate – fig.22.

Do not use corrosive or abrasive products.

Storing your iron

• Unplug it and wait for the soleplate to cool down – fig.23.
• Empty the tank and set the steam control to . A little water may remain in the tank.
• Wind the cord around the heel of the iron. Position the iron on its support base – fig.24.

Environment protection first!

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