Before First Use; Preparation; Which Water Should I Use - TEFAL ECOMASTER FV17 Series Manual

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove any labels from the soleplate before
heating the iron.
Before using the steam function in your iron for the
first time, we recommend that you allow the iron
to operate a few moments in a horizontal position
without coming into contact with your laundry.
Keeping the iron in this position, push the turbo
steam trigger several times.
During the first few uses, the appliance may produce
smoke, a harmless odour and a light emission of
particles. These are simply the engineering residues
from the manufacturing process burning off. These
are harmless and will quickly disappear.

PREPARATION

Which water should I use?

• Your appliance was designed to operate using
untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to
periodically clean the steam chamber to remove any
mineral deposits.
• Do not use pure demineralised or pure distilled water,
water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water,
rain water, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from
refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, additives
water, condensation water or rain water as these may
damage the iron. These types of water contain organic
waste, mineral elements that become concentrated
when heated and cause spitting, brown staining,
leaking or premature wear on your iron.
If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated
tap water with 50% distilled water (available in
hardware stores).
