• Your appliance has been designed to function with 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.
What water to use?
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.
The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral ele-
ments 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 deminera-
lised water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron. Also do not
use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
Do not use these types of water
If your water is very hard (check
with your local water authori-
ty), it is possible to mix tap
water with store-bought dis-
tilled or demineralised water in
the following proportions :
- 50% untreated tap water,
- 50% distilled or demineralised
water.
Types of water not to use ?
Ironing
• This ironing mat is extra-large, heat and steam resistant. It allows you to
iron on any suitable flat surface without risk of scorching or dripping.
• It may be creased after being stored in the box. Just iron it before begin-
ning your session. Creases will disappear in a flash.
• To do some ironing, place your ironing mat on a suitable flat, stable, heat-
resistant surface
(fig A)
.
Using the mat
With its rectangular shape, the
mat enables perfect ironing to
be carried out on the corner of
a suitable heat-resistant table.
Installing the iron stand
• Position the iron stand, ideally on the corner of the mat
(fig A).
During any pause in ironing,
always put your iron on its
stand, never leave it on
its soleplate on the mat.
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Press on the Dry / Steam control so that it is set to DRY
(fig B)
and will not
drip during filling.
• Place the iron flat on its mat, lift the filler cap and fill it to the "max" mark
indicated (capacity, 125 cc).
Or,
• With the iron set on its base, open the filler cap and fill it without exceeding
the "MAX" mark indicated on the side of the tank
(fig C)
.
• Close the filler cap. You can now plug in your iron.
Filling the tank
NOTE : Reduce the water flow
towards the end of filling
in order to avoid any overflow.
• Turn off the steam by pressing the dry / steam control; use this position
for ironing wool, silks and synthetics.
• For other fabrics, leave the control
(fig B)
on the steam position.
Choosing dry or steam ironing
During steam ironing, there
may be some condensation on
the iron stand ; this will disap-
pear when the iron is left to
cool down on its stand.
