Preparation
What water to use ?
• Your appliance has been designed to operate using 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.
• 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.
Fill the tank up to the
"MAX".
Never fill the appliance
by holding it directly
under the tap.

• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low tempe-
ratures 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

first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

water in the tank before
