Preparation
What water may be used?
• Tap water:
Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, we recommend you
use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in hardware stores.
• 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 water as advised above.
Always remember:
Never use rainwater or water containing additives (like starch, fragrance or water from domestic appliances). Such
additives can affect the steam properties and at high temperature, form deposits in the steam generator chamber
which are likely to stain your washing
Filling the water tank
• Remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam generator)
• Fill the water tank without exceeding the Max level
• Push it back into its housing until you hear a «click»
Use
Pro Express
Switch the steam generator on
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes, smell and reject of particules but this is not
harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
• Place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal surface that is heatproof and waterproof.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear of
the steam cord.
• Completely unwind the power cord and take the steam cord out of its storage space.
• Plug your steam generator into an earthed socket.
• Press the «ON-OFF» button.
• When you switch on the appliance the «NORMAL» button flashes and the light on the iron also flashes while the
iron is warming up.
NOTE: If you wish to begin ironing delicate fabrics first, press the DELICATE button straightaway before the iron has
reached the NORMAL temperature setting as this will be too hot.
• The DELICATE / NORMAL/ MAX(JEANS) buttons control the temperature and steam combinations that are suitable
for different types of fabrics. They may be selected at any time.
• The light of the selected button DELICATE / NORMAL/ MAX(JEANS) remains flashing until the iron is ready for use
(after approximately 2 minutes).
