• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed
socket outlet.
• The soleplate of your iron, the steam cord, 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 to prevent water spots on clothes
and to avoid hot steam venting sideways.
• 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 iron clothing on a
person, always use a hanger. Never iron in a seated position with your legs
under the iron board.
• Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid.
Never place it under a running tap.
What water to use?
• Untreated tap water: Your appliance has been designed to use untreated
tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water and 50%
bottled distilled water.
• 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.
