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 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 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
• Put the steam generator on a at, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• When the red «Water tank empty» light is ashing - fig.4, there is no more steam. The water tank is empty.
