Preparation
What water to use ?
• 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 most shops.
• 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.
• Place your steam station on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and cold.
• Unscrew the boiler cap.
• Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water. Fill the boiler, taking care that the water
does not spill over fig.4. If this occurs, remove the excess water.
• Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight.

Using your steam station

• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space .
• Tilt the locking ring of the iron forwards to release the safety catch.
• Plug in your steam station to an earthed socket.
• Press the on/off luminous switch. It comes on and the boiler heats up.
• After approximately 8 minutes or when the steam ready indicator light comes on
(according to model), the steam is ready
• During ironing the iron's thermostat light and the steam indicator (according to

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 station
chamber which are likely to
stain your washing.

Filling the boiler

The first time the ap-
pliance is used, there
may be some fumes and
smell but this is not
harmful. They will not
affect use and will di-
sappear rapidly.
