Description
«PROTECT CONCEPT» safety system
Your generator is fitted with the «Protect Concept» system:
• Double protection cover.
• Cover automatically locks when it is folded up over the iron
- fig.2 and open using the unlocking button - fig.3.
• Carry handle
- fig.1.
Preparation
What water may be used?
• 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.
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 generator chamber
which are likely to stain your washing.
Filling the water tank
• Pull the cover up over the iron until the protection system automatically locks (you will hear a «click» ) - fig.2.
• Remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam generator) - fig.4.
• Fill the water tank without exceeding the Max level - fig.5 and fig.6.
• Push it back into its housing until you hear a «click» - fig.7.
• Press the unlocking button on the protective cover until you hear a click, and then fold it back on to the generator
base unit
- fig.3.
Switch the steam generator on
• Always place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal heat-resistant worksurface
away from heat sources and water splashes.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid
straining and wear of the steam cord.
• Pull out and completely unwind the power cord from its storage space.
• Pull out the steam cord from its sliding storage space -
fig.24.
• Plug your steam generator into an earthed socket.
• Press the «ON-OFF» button
- fig.8.
• When the iron is turned on, the «SYNTH.» indicator flashes - fig.9, as does the iron
thermostat indicator until the iron is ready for use (after approximately 2 minutes). The
lights will then stop flashing -
fig.10.
• The SYNTH. / SILK / WOOL / COTTON / LINEN iron thermostat indicator control the
temperature and steam flow combinations which adjust to the different types of fabrics.
They may be selected at any time.
