Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the
appliance and will invalidate your guarantee.

an extension lead which is in good condition, has a plug with an earth
connection and is suited to the power rating of the appliance.
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed
socket outlet.

• The soleplate of your iron, the steam cord, and the iron rest on the base
unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns: do not
touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate of
the iron.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent water spots on clothes
and to avoid hot steam venting sideways.
• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron
with care, especially when ironing vertically.
Never direct the steam towards people or animals. Never iron clothing on a
person, always use a hanger. Never iron in a seated position with your legs
under the iron board.
• Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid.
Never place it under a running tap.
What water to use?
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 hardware stores.
• 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, ltered 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 aect the steam
properties and at high temperature, form deposits in the steam generator
chamber which are likely to stain your washing and lead to premature
aging of the appliance.
