Limescale Anti-calc collector
Before using for the first time
• Before using your iron for the first time in the steaming position, we
recommend that you let it function for a few moments in the horizontal
position and away from your clothes. Press the turbo steam button several
times in this position.
• On first use you may notice a small amount of smoke and odour or a small
discharge of particles. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
Preparation
What water to use?
• Your iron has been designed to work with untreated tap water. It is however necessary to clean the scale
collector regularly, eliminating all residues.
• 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. Do not use pure distilled nor pure
demineralised water. These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL
iron.
Filling the tank
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to
–
fig.1
.
• Hold the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, pointing the soleplate upwards.
• Open the tank cover –
fig.2
.
• Fill the tank to the
“MAX”
marking –
fig.3
.
• Close the tank cover.
Use
Adjusting the temperature and steam
• Adjust the thermostat control –
fig.4
, by referring to the table below.
• The light comes on. It will go out
when the soleplate is sufficiently
hot –
fig.5
.
According to the type of fabric
selected, your iron automatically
and accurately determines the
temperature and steam flow, to
guarantee the best result.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that require a low heat, then finish with those that need
higher temperatures.
• If you lower the thermostat, wait for the light to come back on before starting to iron again.
• If you are ironing a fabric comprising a mixture of fibres: adjust the
Read the instructions for
use carefully.
Remove any labels from
the soleplate before
heating the iron.
Do not fill your iron through
the scale collector orifice. Do
not exceed the tank’s MAX
marking. Do not fill your iron
directly under the tap.
Do not remove the anti-calc
valve to fill the tank.
If your water is very hard,
you are able to mix 50%
untreated tap water with
50% store bought distilled
water.
